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.

a special series of Science of Reading the podcast from Amplify.

On these episodes, we're doing something just a little different.

We're trying to pull together important concepts in literacy development and give you our listeners

sort of an idea of a thread and a pathway through this particular concept such that you could

dive deeper into elements of that and really start to gain a bigger picture or a bigger

understanding of these particular concepts. On our very first edition of Science of Reading

Essentials, we took on the topic of writing, giving you

is available right in our podcast feed, or you can find it on our new accompanying resource

site, Amplify.com slash S-O-R essentials.
