Partnering for Literacy in Your Community with Jennifer Moone
The Be Podcast Network, an organization of more than four dozen engaging shows dedicated to education, and Reading Is Fundamental are partnering during National Literacy Month to share high-impact conversations about literacy with more than 40 unique episodes featuring conversations about the state of children’s literacy nationwide, best practices for reading instruction and engagement, strategies to foster the joy of reading in school and at home, and much more.
The podcast will discuss RIF's approach to partnerships, emphasizing the importance of both national reach and localized collaboration. It will explore strategies for promoting literacy, such as creating reading spaces in everyday locations like laundromats and parks. The conversation will likely touch on the children's literacy crisis and RIF's core philosophy of fostering the joy of reading. Jennifer Moone, drawing from her extensive experience at RIF, will share insights on how principals can integrate literacy initiatives throughout the school year.
