Building Early Literacy Skills Through Play: Expert Tips from Reading Specialist Maria Golden
Think your toddler needs flashcards and worksheets to learn reading? Think again! 📚
In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with Maria Golden, educator, reading specialist, and mom of three—who reveals the shocking truth: by the time kids reach first grade, many already believe they're "bad at reading." 😢
What You'll Discover:
Why teaching the alphabet first might actually be holding your child back
The ONE foundational skill that 90% of kids are missing (hint: it's not letter recognition!)
How a simple grocery store trip can become a powerful literacy lesson
The "storytelling game" that builds comprehension skills without a single worksheet
Why vocabulary matters more than you think—starting from the womb!
Practical, play-based strategies that fit into your already chaotic day
Perfect for: ✅ Parents of toddlers and preschoolers ✅ Moms who feel overwhelmed by "educational activities" ✅ Anyone worried their child will struggle with reading ✅ Parents looking for screen-free learning ideas
Key Takeaways: 🎯 Rhyming comes before letter recognition 🎯 Vocabulary building starts at age 1 (or earlier!) 🎯 Sound awareness doesn't need visual letters 🎯 Learning happens naturally through conversation 🎯 You don't need to be a teacher—just be intentional
