Literacy for Littles: Recent Episodes
Caitlin Spurr
Join me on my journey as I teach my three year old how to read and write. It is my goal that she’s able to recognize all of her letters and sounds by kindergarten and is hopefully putting those letters and sounds together to begin how to read. I am a former literary specialist of 15 years with a passion for developmentally appropriate ways of teaching reading and writing. I have worked to teach children how to read and write ranging from pre-k to 8th grade. I specialize in executional learners, those learners who don’t learn the same as all the other kiddos!
Come, take a look at some of the most recent studies regarding screen time usage in young children, and be informed about the impact screen time has on our children later in life
Join me as I begin to discuss the developmentally appropriate practices and ways we can prepare children to start reading.

Before kiddos can start to spell words they have to be able to hear the sounds in words. There’s a fun way to start learning how to break apart words here is level one and level two. This can actually be learned at a very young age and help kids later on in life.
