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.

Download your science of reading guide at amplify.com.com slash S-O-R guide.

This is Susan Lambert and welcome to Science of Reading the podcast.

Before we go any further, I want to thank you and all our listeners for your support of this show.

We are thrilled to have completed six seasons, and we now have more than 3 million downloads.

It wouldn't be possible without you.

Before we jump into season seven, we thought it would be amazing to bring

back a very special person. In fact, she was our very first guest way back in 2019.

On today's episode, Natalie Wexler joins me for a fascinating discussion about her new book,

The Knowledge Gap. Back when I sat down to record that first interview with Natalie, I couldn't have guessed

how much the science of reading movement in this podcast would grow in three plus years.

Thank you for your part in making that happen.

To celebrate all our fantastic listeners who are out there doing the work, we wanted to bring

Natalie back on the show to talk about the changes she's witnessed and what's on the top of her mind now.

So without further ado, here is the return of education writer and author Natalie Wexler.

Well, Natalie Wexler, you're joining us again for another episode of the podcast.
