🎵 Incorporate songs and rhymes into your child's day beginning at birth! 🎶 Musical activities can boost phonemic awareness 🧠—a key building block for reading success. 📚✨ #SingAndLearn #PhonemicAwareness #FunLearning

These foundational skills are everything when it comes to early literacy. Let’s build strong readers from the ground up—starting with sound and letter play! 🔡✨👧👦 #PhonemicAwareness #EarlyReading #MarilynJagerAdams #LiteracyTips #ReadingSuccess

I was honored to speak at the School District of Philadelphia’s Summer Literacy Institute on June 25th! 📚✨ #LiteracyMatters #ProfessionalLearning #SDPLiteracy #SummerInstitute2025 #EducationLeadership

Feeling incredibly grateful for the kind words and support from those who share this journey with the next generation. It means so much to know the book is sparking meaningful conversations between parents and children. 💛📚 #ParentChildConnection #CallingAllNeurons

Did you know? Students who don't read proficiently by the 3rd grade are four times more likely to drop out of school. Early intervention can make all the difference. #EarlyLiteracy #StayInSchool #ReadingSuccess

Orthographic mapping helps children remember words by sight, but it’s not memorization—it’s brain wiring! When phonemes (sounds) and graphemes (letters) are connected through meaning, kids can store and retrieve words automatically. #ReadingScience #OrthographicMapping

This powerful reminder drives home why early identification and support are critical. Let’s give every child the tools they need right from the start. 💡📖💪 #ReadingMatters #EarlyLiteracy #ScienceOfReading #EducationForAll #JosephTorgesen

Struggling with a poor pencil grip in your child or students? It impacts literacy more than you think—but it’s fixable! ✏️ Read more: lorijosephson.com/2025/07/ #LiteracyDevelopment #PencilGripMatters #EarlyLearningSkills

Educators & Parents—what’s one book or resource that completely changed how you approach teaching reading and working with ‘Readers-In-Training"? 💡 Drop it in the comments 👇 and let’s build a crowd-sourced library of impactful tools together! #LiteracyCommunity #TeacherTips

Sending off more copies of Calling All Neurons to The Reading League! 💛 Grateful it’s reaching educators & literacy leaders who value the science of reading in a way kids can understand. #ReadingLeague #ScienceOfReading

Reading isn’t natural—it must be explicitly taught. 📖 Connecting sounds to symbols takes structured, evidence-based instruction. Every learner needs it. #ScienceOfReading #StructuredLiteracy #CognitiveDevelopment #OralLanguage

Literacy isn’t just a skill—it’s a legacy. 🌟 Passing down the power to read, learn, and grow is one of the greatest gifts we can give the next generation. #ReadingInTheBrain #StanislasDehaene #LiteracyLegacy #ScienceOfReading

📚 Did you know? The brain wasn’t built to read—it rewires itself, recruiting pathways for speech, language, hearing, and vision to link sound, symbol, and meaning. That’s why explicit instruction is essential for every learner. #ScienceOfReading #LiteracyMatters

📖 Did you know? Kids with strong oral language skills are more likely to become strong readers & writers. 💬 Conversation builds comprehension before books—more words = a stronger reading foundation. #TalkToLearn #OralLanguage #EarlyLiteracy #LanguageDevelopment

✏️🧠 Writing by hand activates more of the brain than typing—especially for young learners. It boosts memory, letter recognition & learning. With AI on the rise, more teachers are returning to handwritten work. #HandwritingMatters #ReadingScience #ArtificialIntelligence

✏️How does screen time affect handwriting? From preschoolers on tablets to older kids with Chromebooks, screens are reshaping motor skills, stamina & learning. My latest blog explores the research + real-life impacts. 👉 lorijosephson.com/2025/08/ #HandwritingMatters #ScreenTime

Reading and personal growth are deeply intertwined. As we read, we evolve—and as we evolve, so does our relationship with what we read. #MaryanneWolf #ReadingJourney #ProustAndTheSquid #ReadingBrain
