For the Love of Literacy <3

Picture

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.

KEY POINTS from The Heart of Reading w/ Alana Sutherland:
*teach your kid to break words down {syllabicate} by going over the VCCV (vowel-consonant) patterns
*take a language-based approach to reading
​*gentle transition from teachers taking responsibility to parents taking the responsibility to teach children how to read. 
​*be a sponge! As a parent or teacher/tutor, soak up all the information out there you can find!

2) Do you belong to any groups that are meaningful to you & meet regularly?
3) On a scale of 1-10: how would you rate the value you bring to 
​4) On an A+-- F scale, how would you rate your gratitude?
5) In a meaningful situation, when things don't work out, do your emotions last short-term or long-term?
6) Do you believe your life has a purpose?
​7) On an A+-- F scale, how would you rate your progress in achieving your life purpose?
