Hi listeners, it's Susan here. Just in time for the school year, I have a brand new resource to tell you about.

Science of Reading, a new teacher's guide. This free e-book gives you the critical information you need,

including a detailed breakdown of the reading rope and the 10 foundational science of reading principles.

It also provides key information on dyslexia, assessment,

serving multilingual learners, and so much more.

It's packed with beautiful diagrams,

a perfect compliment to the podcast if I do say so myself.

The vocabulary and language skills that a child takes into kindergarten are highly predictive and one could even argue determinative of subsequent progress in learning to read.

This is Susan Lambert and welcome to Science of Reading the podcast from Amplify,

where the science of reading lives.

We're wrapping up our season focused on the critical role of knowledge.

And if there's been one takeaway,

it's that knowledge building cannot be overlooked for literacy development and beyond. So while

season eight is coming to an end, we will certainly continue coming back to knowledge building

in our future episodes. To close out this season, we've got a fascinating conversation in store with Dr. Catherine Snow,

the John and Elizabeth Hobbs Professor of Cognition and Education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education.

On this episode, Dr. Snow looks back at the preventing reading difficulties in

Young Children Report and shares some of the most critical takeaways for educators today.

She also weighs in on the state of the current science of reading movement and shares what's

on the top of her mind in this moment.

Please enjoy this conversation with Dr. Catherine Snow.
