Welcome to the Play on Words Podcast!
In this episode you will hear quick tips for toddlers, preschoolers and kindergartners (and their teachers and grown ups) from entrepreneur, educator, curriculum writer and founder of Big City Readers, miss beth!
Miss Beth is the modern Mr Rogers mixed with Taylor Swift (as coined by dozens or news outlets across the country).
Her classes and events are as hard to get as Taylor Swift tickets but feel like you're watching Mr. Rogers live while sipping a mimosa. She's built a brand and private practice focusing on whole child development and specializing in the science of reading instruction while keeping it real and fun.
Her instagram stories are known as "hot takes only" because she doesn't hold anything back when it comes to advocating and teaching parents and teachers alike how to teach and lead the next generation. Her fun multisensory approach is not only loved by kids, it's successful in changing how kids learn and love to learn. She is an advocate for teachers and parents and know as the bridge between home and school and the shoulder to cry on when you feel lost. She has a way of making everything easy to understand and feel like you're on the phone being resisted by your best friend or sister.
Her in person and online practice, big city readers, is full of tons of resources on school tours, family values, having conversations with your school, how to help your perfectionist or highly sensitive child, the best ways to teach reading, how toddler language development aligns with learning to read and so much more.
