Lyn Stone is an educational linguist and author. She lives and works in Victoria, Australia where she runs her consultancy and tutoring practice, Lifelong Literacy.

Lyn creates research-informed professional development seminars for teachers and other education professionals and is regularly invited to speak at conferences, school in-service days, and on live radio. She also runs masterclasses for teachers with guest speakers from a variety of domains. Her goal is to help teachers awaken linguistic curiosity in their students using creative, engaging tools and strategies that are based upon scientific consensus as to what constitutes best practice. She has three bestselling books, Spelling for Life, Language for Life and Reading for Life, the third of which is the topic of today’s discussion! This book, Reading for Life, is a fantastic summary of the science of reading, as well as the history of the reading wars, and practical advice about literacy instruction. I just know that listeners are going to love today’s discussion.
