Sarah co-authored a book recently & I wanted to learn all about it! Kindergarten Readiness through Play comes out September 20th & I wanted to also know more about Sarah's literacy background & opinions, as well as some of her picture book favorites.

If you like STEM + literacy, this week's episode is going to tickle your fancy! Dr. Ryan & I discuss all things being mama, writers, & how to create fun, but simple science experiments at home. You'll love it!

Deborah & I talk writing, tips for writers, publishing & lots of life coach and parenting stuff (especially for talking to & working with teens.) It's a unique episode this week!

In a solo episode, I discuss all the tips for helping struggling or reluctant readers learn to be successful readers.

Becky & I spoke author-to-author & mama-to-mama in this interview, & it might interest you to know that we discussed sleep & struggles with getting kids to be good sleepers. And I got to talk all about my children's book, Sophie Stands Out, which comes out one month after Becky's book the Growing Bed.

Intriguing chat with Sara Marye of the Stellar Teacher Company, focused solely on how to engage our readers (both in a classroom or at home) by using genre.

Tune in as new author Meghan Speer & I discuss the publishing journey, how to meet your own expectations & own your voice as an author.

Tune in as Courtney of Ramona Recommends (the blog & Instagram) who is a teacher, TPT author, & podcast host also, discusses literacy & reading tips with me as well as shares her favorite children's picture books (as of now.) We had a fantastic conversation & it will benefit anyone who wants to incorporate literacy more into their lives!

Closing out this season with a chat about easy reader leveled books and emergent readers; may we encourage them in the quest for learning to love reading!

It's been neat starting to interview authors of different genres (besides kids lit.) Tune in for another author interview, especially if you're into YA & dystopian novels.
