Drawing on research from scholars, they discuss how literacy is a lifelong journey where errors are seen as vital approximations in the learning process rather than simple mistakes. The episode offers practical, creative recommendations for fostering a love of language, including using inventive spelling to build confidence, engaging in oral language rehearsal, and shifting the focus from rigid rules to the power of clear communication.\n\n\nEpisode Resources and Book Recommendations: \n\nTips for Supporting Your Child with Spelling and Grammar - color | black/white\nAll Blues in the Sky by Renée Watson \nThe Library in the Woods by Calvin Alexander Ramsey \nWill’s Race for Home by Jewell Parker Rhodes\nLegendary Frybread Drive In by Cynthia Leitich Smith \nThe Pecan Sheller by Lupe Ruiz-Flores\nAlberto Salas Plays Paka Paka con la Papa by Sara Andrea Fajardo\nFireworks by Matthew Burgess \nPopo the Xolo by Paloma Angelina Lopez \nLearn more about Teachers College Advancing Literacy. \n\nIf you’d like more tips on supporting at-home literacy, be sure to join and share our FREE Online Family and Caregiver Workshop Series and stay tuned for more podcasts episodes. \nThe views expressed in this episode are solely those of the speaker to whom they are attributed.
