The Voice of Early Childhood Podcast

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of recording this podcast with The Voice of Early Childhood! This is a great listen for parents of young children concerned about reading. This conversation examines how the focus should be on the foundations needed to support reading opposed to reading at a very young age. Follow this link to listen to the podcast and read the article I wrote, "My child can't read yet".

"What is the ‘right time’ to start encouraging reading? What if my child is not showing any interest at all? These are some of the questions addressed in the episode and article by Stacy Benge. You will also gain insight into vestibular and proprioceptive systems, crossing the midline, using print in meaningful contexts, attributing meaning to marks, learning to tune into and distinguish between sounds, developing phonological awareness and visual perception, discriminating between marks and following the child’s cues."
