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.

When I talk with teachers about it, it rings true and it resonates that, like, yeah, when children don't know anything about a topic, it's very difficult for them to do any of the things we really want them to do, what our real goals are.

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

Today's episode is an ode to knowledge and knowledge building.

I'm joined once again by Daniel Willingham,

Professor of Psychology at the University of Virginia. And on this episode, he not only makes

the case for why knowledge is so key, he also details how knowledge is often critical in ways

that are difficult to appreciate. He explains why patience is so important when it comes to knowledge building,

and he talks about when and how to appropriately use comprehension strategies.

I promise this is a rich conversation packed with useful information that you won't want to miss.

Without further ado, let me welcome back, Daniel Willingham.

Dr. Dan Willingham, it's so exciting to have you as a guest on our podcast again.

Thank you for joining us.

Happy to be back.

I would love if you could reintroduce yourself to our audience in case folks don't know who you are
