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.

  • Quotes: 
    • “This age of information demands that kids be skilled in multiple ways of communicating & organizing information, & writing coherently & thoughtfully will be a skill in even greater demand by employers. A survey of major corporations found that writing was a ‘threshold’ skill needed for hiring & promotions. Two-thirds of salaried employees have writing responsibilities.” -David Walsh
