The Continuing Educator | Family Literacy, with Lauren Bardwell and Shiji Mathews
The essence of family literacy is that parents are supported as the first teachers of their children.ā Family Literacy is the idea that long after diapers and baby steps, our children have so much to learn by watching, observing, and collaborating with trusted adults at home, particularly when it comes to building a strong foundation for reading with confidence. On this episode, we dive deeper into this idea and share the how and why of building and sustain robust family literacy practices.
