LiteracyWelcome 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. |

Since the writing process governs much of my life these days, I thought I'd spend a brief episode discussing it, & explaining why everyone needs to be somewhat familiar with it too! The writing process is simple but effective enough when all the steps are honored. I also had the opportunity to interview one of the youngest authors I've ever learned of, Miss Holly Marshall! She & I had a fascinating conversation about her creative & imaginative side & how she's written a chapter book (soon to become a series) with her mom!

 Don't pass up this amazing sale going on at MEL Science right now. They are sending you a $0.99 box if you subscribe to a monthly plan. This is seriously a *HOT DEAL* & it ends on February 28th! Don't forget that you can use my code KATIE25 on any of their science kits (MEL Kids, Chemistry, or Physics) & get 25% off after that. MEL Science has provided the mostly screen-free entertainment & problem-solving I hoped for! And we do the AR & 3D lessons on my phone together. My son loved learning about friction this month after we built his spring car.
