Description
Welcome to the Littles Love Learning podcast. If you’re a preschool or kindergarten parent or teacher, this podcast is just for YOU!
My name’s Erin, and I’m a certified teacher with my master’s degree in education and over 15 years experience.
But I actually didn’t know how to effectively teach reading until 6 years AFTER I left the classroom.
Now that I’ve been trained in the Science of Reading, I’m on a mission to share all I’ve learned with YOU so that teaching your little one to read is easy and FUN!
You can do this, and I'm here to help!
Hit subscribe and get ready to watch your child's literacy skills transform before your very eyes! Can't wait for you to get started!
