In this episode, I sit down with Spencer Russell, the founder of Toddlers CAN Read and the Head of Literacy Strategy at Lovevery, to dive into the strategies that truly work when teaching kids to read. We discuss his journey from classroom teacher to literacy expert, why he believes toddlers are capable of learning to read, and how parents can step in when schools fall short.
