pbs kids twitter event: create a literate home

Everyone wants to create a literate home–but how?

By reading all day long, every day of the week? By talking about books 24/7? By wallpapering your kids’ rooms with bookcovers?

No, no, and no.

Well? Maybe. But not really.

We will be sharing some realistic ways of creating a literate home for your family this very week–Thursday to be exact.

Please join our good friends from PBS Kids, along with the amazing Melissa Taylor of Imagination Soup and me as we brave the twitterverse for a bit on Thursday and really breakdown the ‘how-to’s of creating a literate home.
