Want to prepare your baby for a lifetime of success? Make literacy a priority from the start. Surround your child with spoken and written language. Speak, read, sing. And model reading as a skill - and interest - of your own. (Remember there’s nobody your child wants to emulate more than you.) I love what this family has created, adding literacy to their daily mealtime routines. After each meal, the children hear books read aloud - which is followed by a short period of independent exploration with books. Look at how attentive these little guys are. At this age, start small… even a minute or two at a time can help start a lifetime habit. And never forget that literacy learning begins long before children enter kindergarten. Want them to do well in school? Don’t wait until they get there to begin. Does/did your baby have favorite board books? I’d love to add them to my list. This highly literate lunchtime was posted to IG by zaintwinzz.

All engineering graduates- have you thought about teaching physics? Schools need you. Not only to teach physics but to bring all curriculum to life with the contextual understanding that you have. Enthuse and motivate all young people to make informed choices.
