Join us for an enlightening discussion about the disconnect between scientific research and parent practices when it comes to children’s early literacy development. Dialogic reading and other evidence-based literacy practices have been widely acclaimed by experts for nearly 30 years, yet many parents are still not implementing these methods at home. We’ll dive into the literary landscape of children’s early literacy development and the crucial role of sensitive parenting during parent-child reading.
