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.

Knowledge building cannot wait.

The reciprocal, the bi-direction relation between knowledge and reading starts from the beginning of schooling.

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

I'm so excited to share today's conversation with Dr. Heijin Huang, Assistant Professor at the Department of Educational Psychology at the University

of Minnesota Twin Cities. Part of the reason I'm so excited to share this conversation with

Dr. Huang is that she does a fantastic job explaining so many foundational concepts, such as

the process for building knowledge, how activation works, and what background

knowledge really is. Dr. Huang shares some concrete examples that I think listeners will

really appreciate. She also details some of her own body of research, including a 2021 meta-analysis

of 35 studies that examined the integration of literacy

and content area instruction. Dr. Huang also discusses her current focus on comprehension and

content learning, particularly in multilingual learners. Please enjoy this rich conversation with Dr. Heijan Huang.

I am so excited to have Dr. Heijin Huang on with us today for a very special episode.

Thank you so much for joining us.
