LiteracyWelcome 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 2 littles to address the biggest literacy issues facing us today. |

I had a super author chat with psychologist & therapist Dr. Kim Dwyer as we discussed her first children's book, Rocky's Christmas Journey (which came out in September with my book, Sophie Stands Out) & a mindfulness workbook she published. She shared the psychological benefits of reading aloud to your kids & also shared some tips for prospective writers & authors. Be sure to check out my youtube channel for video footage of each interview this season! www.youtube.com/channel/UCZsll6PqDCO2p7-vuWqiHAg  Sarah & Becca Thiemann are releasing a book perfect for all parents with littles. It’s available on Amazon through KDP & it’s called: Kindergarten Readiness Through Play. www.amazon.com/Kindergarten-Ready-Through-Play-Preschoolers/dp/1737861917/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=kindergarten+ready+through+play&qid=1632194950&s=books&sr=1-2  Probably because my children's book is getting published at the end of September, I have had an increased interest in authors & illustrators as guests on my show. Do you know of someone who has published recently? Indie publishing? Traditional publishing? Especially books for children. Send them my way....please!
I think it will make Season 2 that much fuller & more informative, as authors unite & discuss our writing & projects. **Also looking for authors or illustrators willing to come on the show for Season 3. It's always a good time! Don't forget to check out my youtube channel, for unedited footage of my podcasts each month; it's been really fun starting this & I would appreciate any subscribers & support you can offer! :) www.youtube.com/channel/UCZsll6PqDCO2p7-vuWqiHAg Don't forget to check out MEL Science (this season's sponsor) & use my code KATIE25, for 25% off your first box or subscription!!!  You will love the season 2 opener, with author & mama Brooke Romney. She has such great life advice, & you will feel loved & understood as you listen to her speak--- I promise. She taught me so much about learning to embrace & love myself so that I can love others & be a better version (not a perfect version) of myself. Check out her book, I Like Me Anyway on Amazon or at your local Costco in Utah, Arizona, & Idaho! www.amazon.com/Like-Anyway-Embracing-Imperfection-Connection/dp/1735854409/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= Also, I wanted to let you know I have a new cruelty free, make-up company you've just got to check out this season!

Tune in when you get a chance! :)  Carrie's books are: Flying Flamingo Sisters (ranked #1 for best audiobooks for road trips with kids) & Horse Girl.

The writing process is simple but effective enough when all the steps are honored. I also had the opportunity to interview one of the youngest authors I've ever learned of, Miss Holly Marshall! She & I had a fascinating conversation about her creative & imaginative side & how she's written a chapter book (soon to become a series) with her mom!    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!

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.
