Helping our children to love reading is one of the greatest gifts we can give them. This week I am joined by Dr Sonia Cabell, Associate Professor in the School of Teacher Education and the Florida Center for Reading Research at Florida State University. Her research is funded by the Institute of Education Sciences, research arm of the U.S. Department of Education, and investigates best practices in early language and literacy instruction. In this episode she shares why reading is so important and how we as parents can help our children succeed in literacy.
