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 process of reading comprehension is very multifaceted and encompasses a lot of different skills beyond what we think of, typically.

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

As we come up on the July 4th holiday and as this show nears an amazing 7 million downloads, I'm using this opportunity to draw some connections

between the past and future of the podcast. First, let me talk about the future. In just two weeks,

we're releasing our second ever Science of Reading Essentials episode. These shorter episodes are specially designed

to pull together the essential information on a single literacy topic so that you'll come away

with both the grounding in the research and strategies to help your students in the classroom.

After delving into writing on our first Essentials

episode, in two weeks, we're putting the spotlight on comprehension. Comprehension is our ultimate

goal with readers, and it's such a vast topic. So that's the focus of our next Science of Reading

Essentials episode coming in just two weeks.

Then on July 22nd, 2025, I'll be hosting a summer learning series webinar that's all about comprehension.

I hope you'll join me for this hour of free professional development, reflecting on the research

and insights of Dr. Hugh Katz and Dr. Jane O'Kill. Find out more information and register for free at
