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.

Well, just recently, a new book came out on exactly this topic. It's called Powerful Literacy

in the Montessori Classroom, Aligning Reading Research and Practice. And for this episode,

I'm joined by the book's three authors, Dr. Susan Zoll,

Dr. Natasha Feinberg, and Dr. Laura Saler. We spoke late February just a few weeks after the book's

release, and Susan, Natasha, and Laura did a fantastic job explaining how and why the science of reading and Montessori

do align. And they shared lessons from their research that apply to all educators, whether or not

they're in a Montessori setting. So no matter which education community you belong to, I think

you'll find this discussion filled with useful information.

Now here's my conversation with Susan, Natasha, and Laura.
