There is a literacy crisis in this country, but not if Spencer Russell - a former teacher, dad, Lovevery Head of Literacy Strategy, and Founder & CEO of Toddlers Can Read - has anything to do with it. Tabria gets the inside scoop on how Spencer teaches parents and caregivers to invest in the process of teaching their children to read, which he believes is the solution to our academic crisis. Spencer also serves up real dad POV on his son’s birth and feeding journey, why and how he taught his son to read at just 2 years old, navigating postpartum challenges and PPD, the overwhelming need for a national paid family leave policy, and a pro parenting hack just for dads. Class dismissed.
