Parents, we are so thankful for you! You are busy – maybe busier than ever! – yet committed to providing the very best for your children. One way we can honor your time and commitment is to preview and recommend resources related to the kind of education we offer and how to help your children be successful in school. Podcasts are a great way to do that because you can take them in while you go about your day. Topics will vary widely. Whether the focus is developing literacy skills or strengthening emotional ties with our children, these are podcasts we have listened to. While we may disagree with little things here are there, we think these podcasts have something that offers to help you and your children flourish, at school and in life. You can expect new material monthly. Thank you and enjoy!

Listen to learn how the U.S. lost its bearings in the race to literacy and how we are getting back on track.
