You Are A Child’s First Teacher – Promoting Literacy Through Play and Everyday Interactions in Children Ages 2-5 Brendan Rooney August 7, 2025

In this session, we’ll explore how to naturally and intentionally support early reading development through playful interactions and everyday routines. You’ll learn how to weave in simple, age-appropriate activities that promote letter recognition, sound awareness, and a love of language—all while following a child’s lead and honoring their natural curiosity.

Whether you’re a parent looking to build your child’s literacy foundation at home or an educator wanting new strategies for your classroom, you’ll leave with practical tools, fun ideas, and a deeper understanding of how everyday moments can help set the stage for lifelong reading success.
