For the Love of Literacy <3

Literacy 

Welcome to my podcast! I started this show in an effort to educate the public about the importance of literacy, especially when we have kids to look out for! I reference my time as an elementary schoolteacher & tutor + my current experience as a children's author & mama of 3 littles to address the biggest literacy issues facing us today.

Don't pass up this amazing sale going on at MEL Science right now. They are sending you a $0.99 box if you subscribe to a monthly plan. This is seriously a *HOT DEAL* & it ends on February 28th! 
Don't forget that you can use my code KATIE25 on any of their science kits (MEL Kids, Chemistry, or Physics) & get 25% off after that. 
MEL Science has provided the mostly screen-free entertainment & problem-solving I hoped for! And we do the AR & 3D lessons on my phone together. My son loved learning about friction this month after we built his spring car. (See below for pictures!)

Podcast #30: Lovers & Promoters of Early Literacy (Interview with Becca Gasciewicz Thiemann)

​You must check out today's episode because it was one of the most enjoyable, instructive interviews I have conducted in a long time! And Dr. Becca is super knowledgeable (as in she got her doctorate in children's literature) & shares lots of great tips as well as her new home literacy guide. You can sign up for this course in the link in her bio on instagram & follow her at: www.instagram.com/beccasbookbox/
​

And of course, when you get two literacy promoters chatting, LOTS of good books are shared. (See a complete list & the show notes at:
​for-the-love-of-literacy.mailchimpsites.com/podcast-show-notes 


I’m determined to start reading more nonfiction with my kiddos now AND let me show you more about the Story Orchestra (which we just received in my little one's Literati box for the month.) We got the Carnival of the Animals, but I have already ordered Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake & anticipate buying Vivaldi's Four Seasons for an Easter present.
These books are AMAZING! I have always been a fan of interactive books, but these are not only interactive with musical notes sprinkled throughout the pages, but they expose kids to classical music....isn't that neat? Plus, several of these orchestras were written for famous ballets, & I was once a young ballerina--I can truly appreciate this art form! You've gotta check them out! I've posted a few below if you're curious. :)
