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.

I think I used to really think a lot about kids learning individual words and which are the right words.

And now I think much more about kids learning.

This is Susan Lambert and welcome to Science of Reading the podcast from Amplify, where the science of reading lives.

It's now 2024 and we're kicking off the new year by continuing our season-long exploration

of the critical role of knowledge and knowledge building.

And on this episode, we'll delve deeper into vocabulary, including how it can be developed

purposefully, how to build vocabulary alongside decoding skills, and integrating, writing, and vocabulary.

We'll also be spending some time on working effectively with younger students.

Our guest is Dr. Tanya S. Wright, Associate Professor of Language and Literacy in the Department

of Teacher Education at Michigan State University.

Go green.

Wright is a former kindergarten teacher and the author of several books,

including a teacher's guide to vocabulary development across the day

and literacy learning for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers.
