Natalie, have you ever considered John McWhorter for a podcast or interview of some kind? He’s already a huge proponent of phonics to help Black children, and has off-hand expressed disappointment for Education not being a better equalizer. I bet he would find your work enlightening!

Phonics is the start, but Content is king. That’s why we built title specific, lexile leveled, content connections for 500 popular k-5 titles, included with the two million books we have gifted to date, and make them available for educators. Content Connections include four post book activities: like text-to-self, text-to-text, text-to-world, and creativity.

That’s why The Library of Congress recognized #kidsreadnow as 2022 literacy innovator.
