Informal Observations with Skyrocket Education

This was fun! Joan Kelley (@Aboundparenting) and I had a great conversation with Michael Sonbert & Antonio Vance from Skyrocket Education about what schools can do to improve early literacy. The conversation underscored the importance of educators proactively involving families, paraprofessionals, and out-of-school staff in improving reading outcomes.

See how IIG and Abound work with educators to train and support families, paraprofessionals, classroom volunteers, and out-of-school staff to have inspiring, rich back-and-forth conversations with children. This kind of TALK promotes deep thinking and curiosity and builds academic vocabulary and knowledge.

Episode Notes: In this episode, Antonio and Michael share their biggest pet peeves, they talk about social belonging, and they receive a master class in early literacy from Joan Kelley and Frank Grossman.
