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.

These barriers that we have erected between reading and writing are kind of artificial and need to come down,

but also between reading, writing, and learning.

This stuff is all connected.

This is Susan Lambert and welcome to Science of Reading the podcast from Amplify. I hope your new year has gotten off to a great start,

and I hope you're excited to return to our Season 9 Reading Reboot.

All season long, we're reexamining and building on foundational literacy concepts.

So far, we've explored the fundamental differences between standards and curriculum,

we've rethought comprehension, we've revisited the critical role of text diet, and so much more.

Today, I'm thrilled to welcome back education writer and author Natalie Wexler, whose brand new book is Beyond the Science of Reading,

connecting literacy instruction to the science of learning.

Natalie will help us unpack the fundamentals and latest research on learning science.

We'll also reach back into our mailbag to tackle another fabulous listener submitted question.

Let's now welcome back, Natalie Wexler.

Natalie Wexler, thank you so much for joining us on today's episode.
