This week's amazing guest is, author and literacy advocate, Maya Smart. Host, Shaleah and Maya discuss how introverted moms/parents can use their unique superpowers to share with kids the love of reading as well as how to raise thriving readers from day one, America's current reading crisis, and tools for parents. We also chat Maya's newly published book, Reading for Our Lives: A Literacy Action Plan from Birth to Six. Mrs. Smart has combed through the academic literature and interviewed the specialists, so parents don’t have to. She's all about sharing that knowledge in an accessible way.
