    Season 3 Episode 3: 'The Science of Reading' with Sara Reichstadt

    Send us Fan Mail Research continues to conclude that children’s academic successes later in life can be attributed to the amount of talk and reading they experience from birth to age 3. They also statistically prove to be better readers later in life. We are thrilled to have Sara Reichstadt, a renowned Social and Emotional learning expert, and the Education Coordinator for Kinderberry Hill Child Development Centers back for an episode on early childhood literacy.     These days, in everchanging, fast-paced, information dense environments, it's more important than ever that our children can "read between the lines", and Sara will provide guardians, who are shorter for time than ever, with tools to make that task less daunting.    This episode contains topics like:  The proven benefits of teaching reading at a young age The diversity of reading options that children can participate in Discussing how understanding the Reggio Emilia approach to social & emotional learning can boost childhood literacy Reading as a form of play Community resources available for families that want to make childhood reading more accessible Handling educating your child while dealing with adult burnout Resources: https://reachoutandread.org/what-we-do/resources-2/ Listen to our previous episode interviewing Sara about ‘The Importance of Play’ here:  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/season-2-episode-3-importance-of-play/id1610354963?i=1000615739373        Contact New Horizon Academy  Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and Tik TokEmail us at parentingpickup@nhacademy.netCheck out our website to learn more!Thanks for listening!
