• S10 E2: Orthographic mapping is a cognitive process, with Katie Pace Miles, Ph.D.

  In this episode of Science of Reading: The Podcast, Susan Lambert is joined by Katie Pace Miles, Ph.D., founder of The Reading Institute and director of the Advanced Certificates in Reading Science, Brooklyn College. An expert in orthographic mapping, Pace Miles explains why it’s a cognitive process, why that means it can’t be “taught,” and how we can instead leverage an understanding of it to inform instructional practices across reading, writing, and spelling to improve comprehension. Pace Miles outlines what it takes to develop good word-reading habits in emergent readers, and offers step-by-step advice on how to implement quick intervention when needed.Show notes:Submit your questions on comprehension! Access free, high-quality resources at our brand-new companion professional learning page.  Connect with Katie Pace Miles:Website: https://www.katiepacemilesphd.com/Instagram: @thereadinginstitutenyc Resources:Book: Making Words Stick: A Four-Step Instructional Routine to Power Up Orthographic Mapping Article: ”Phases of Development in Learning to Read and Spell Words” by Linnea C.

• S10 E1: The (not so) Simple View of Reading, with Wesley Hoover, Ph.D.

  In this episode of Science of Reading: The Podcast, Susan Lambert is joined by Wesley Hoover, a psycholinguist at the University of Texas at Austin, to discuss the Simple View of Reading and how it can serve as the basis for our understanding of comprehension. Wesley digs into all the complexities of this model—which is only simple at a high level—including the meaning of language comprehension vs. reading comprehension, the impact of word recognition, and using the simple view to identify struggling students. He’ll even address the limitations of the simple view of reading, untangle common misconceptions, and give you tools for assessing the value of any model for reading that you might encounter.Show notes: Submit your questions on comprehension! Access free, high-quality resources at our brand-new, companion professional learning page: http://amplify.com/science-of-reading/professional-learning  Resources:Listen: Science of Reading Essentials: ComprehensionRead: The Primacy of Science in Communicating Advances in the Science of ReadingJoin our community Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/groups/scienceofreadingConnect with Susan Lambert: https://www.linkedin.com/in/susan-lambert-edd-b1512761/Check out Season 2 of the Beyond My Years podcast at.amplify.com/bmy Quotes:"Language comprehension is unbounded… the knowledge of the world and being able to express the knowledge of the world in language—that's always a key difficulty you work on for your entire life.” —Wesley Hoover, Ph.D. “If you're a teacher thinking about language comprehension, whatever time you devote to helping people understand language, if you can be effective in doing that, you'll never waste a kid's time.” —Wesley Hoover, Ph.D. "To be a reader, you have to be good at two things: word recognition and language comprehension. Both of them are necessary components of reading, but neither one of them is sufficient on its own.”—Wesley Hoover, Ph.D. Episode timestamps*03:00 Introduction: Wesley Hoover and the simple view of reading06:00 What is the simple view of reading? 08:00 What is language comprehension?10:00 What is word recognition?11:00 Defining reading comprehension12:00 Dr. Gough’s big A-Ha!

• Everything is literacy, with Susan Lambert, Ed.D.

  In this crossover episode Susan Lambert joins host Ana Torres and Classroom Insider Eric Cross from sister podcast, Beyond My Years. Together, the trio dive into the idea that all educators contribute to—and thus must invest in—student literacy development, regardless of the content they teach. Throughout the conversation, they discuss how all teachers are literacy teachers, offer four simple tips for developing academic language in any classroom, and explore why Susan still doesn't feel like a "seasoned educator" despite over 30 years in education. Finally, Ana and Eric discuss what they learned and Eric shares his top three takeaways from Susan.Show notes:Subscribe to Beyond My Years https://at.amplify.com/bmyAccess free, high-quality resources at our brand new, companion professional learning page: http://amplify.com/science-of-reading/professional-learning  Connect with:Susan Lambert: https://www.linkedin.com/in/susan-lambert-edd-b1512761/Ana Torres: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anayansi-ana-torres-m-ed-26a10654/Eric Cross: https://www.ericcross.org/ Resources:Science of Reading: A New Teacher’s GuideScarborough’s Reading RopeThe Knowledge Gap by Natalie WexlerJoin our community Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/groups/scienceofreadingFollow us on Instagram @amplify.education Quotes: “Reading and writing and understanding language is not just an English language arts teacher's responsibility. It's the responsibility of every educator to communicate their discipline and the words and the concepts from their discipline to their students.” —Susan Lambert“[The Science of Reading movement] is not being led by one person or another person. …  I'm part of a greater community, and to know that I play a certain role or part in that community actually gives me a lot of inspiration on days when it's really, really hard.” —Susan Lambert“Any teacher in a classroom, no matter what content area they teach, is teaching something about language.” —Susan Lambert“The more that we can sharpen our tools and our skillset to be those teachers of literacy, the faster we're going to see improvements in learning in our classrooms. They're not two separate things.” —Eric Cross
