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 standards define the what, the level complexity, the level of sophistication, really, really important.

But curriculum tells us how to do the what well.

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

where the science of reading lives.

This season, we're embarking on a reading reboot, revisiting and building on the fundamentals

of the science of reading.

On today's episode, we're exploring the topic of

literacy standards with Sue Pimentel, lead writer of the Common Core State Standards for ELA,

and the co-founder of Standards Work. A few months back, Pimentel wrote a piece for the 74 titled

Standards Are Not Curriculum,

Why We Must Put Student Knowledge Center Stage in How We Teach Kids to Read.

On this episode, she discusses that piece as well as some common misconceptions about literacy standards.

She'll also delve into some key similarities and differences between standards and

curriculum and much more. Please enjoy this conversation with Sue Pimentel.
