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.

Welcome to Science of Reading the podcast. I'm your host, Susan Lambert. We're just two weeks

away from launching our sixth season. But first, we have one more episode in our Summer

Rewind series. This time, we're highlighting a season four conversation with Dr. Elsa Cardenas

Hagen, Director of Valley Speech and Learning Center in Brownsville, Texas. We want to feature this

conversation because we know that many students in your

schools and classrooms are simultaneously learning a new language and how to read that language. This

episode provides helpful guidance and how teachers can make connections between students' home

language and English to develop bi-literacy's superpowers.

Here's my conversation with Elsa.

Well, hello, Elsa.

Thank you so much for joining us on today's episode.

I'm so happy to be here and thank you for the invitation.

Absolutely. I know that our listeners are going to be really and thank you for the invitation. Absolutely.

I know that our listeners are going to be really, really supported by and have lots of questions answered in this episode as it relates to English language learners.
