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

​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:

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. :)
