Kids all read at different ages, stages, and times, but how can we, as parents, ensure they are getting all the tools and skills they need to become great readers? Today, Maya Smart joins me to talk about her new book Reading for Our Lives. She delves into the science of how kids become not just readers, but also comprehend and think critically. Here is some of what we cover:
  • Why you are your child’s chief vocabulary builder
  • TALK stands for: Take turns, Ask questions, Label and point, Keep the conversation going
  • Why literacy still matters—even in an AI world
  • Literacy is relational, not just instructional
  • Early vocabulary and sound awareness are critical foundations
