If you’re a graduate teacher or a school beginning their journey implementing Science of Reading I highly encourage reading Transform by Greg Clement.
A very easy to follow book explaining the what and how of implementing SOR. What really makes the impact is the fact Greg implemented this himself and is very honest, vulnerable and realistic about what that actually looks like on a school wide level.
I really appreciate lived advice.

A practical overview of the Science of Reading, its history and how Greg Clement introduced and implemented it at his Melbourne school step by step. I enjoyed the advice, practical tips and Scope and sequence charts that will be useful as a classroom teacher starting out in the teaching of reading to my students.
