Smart is a nationally recognized parent educator and author of the book “Reading for our Lives.”
Featured on CBS Mornings, TIME, PBS and more, Smart is the author of “Reading for our Lives: A Literacy Action Plan from Birth to Six” (Avery/Penguin Random House), a trusted resource for raising thriving readers.
Science confirms that reading skills start developing in infancy — but many parents don’t know how to guide this growth. In this session, Smart breaks down the stages of literacy development from birth through the early elementary years, empowering caregivers with six simple yet powerful tools to build lifelong readers.
