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.

Tune in to this episode & keep your eyes peeled for a follow-up conversation with the original CEO of P.A.M. (with Dr. Terry Kindervater.) Here are the wonderful benefits to using the Phonics in Motion program: 
1. Kids get to learn visually, audibly, & kinesthetically. 
2. Cuts out screen time as a mode of teaching phonemes & blending skills. 
3. Map out sounds FIRST!
​
