Hey Friends~
I love children’s literature! It seems that ANYTHING you want to teach, you can find a book on that and use it as a springboard to help kids learn. This is especially true for social emotional learning. There is power in using stories! One mistake parents make is thinking they need to read a book as written! Today’s guest brings us into her journey into authorship and then shows us …. how to take the story beyond the book! If you wonder how to use a piece of literature to enhance learning, listen in! Terri Lilga shares some great ideas!
Always cheering you on!
