Before the pandemic even hit, I was already worried about how much I was not reading with my children. Is it bad if I skip story time at bedtime? Is it okay that we only have a couple books in the house? And, now, in a pandemic where the library is closed, are my children progressing at the rate that they should be at all?

In today's episode, I sit down with Katie Kurumada, Ph.D, who is a reading specialist, assistant professor at Georgia State University, and works in Reading Recovery. She greatly alleviated my concerns as a mother and was able to relate to the struggle between knowing what's best as a teacher and going with societal norms in education. Her children even made a little cameo in the episode.

This is Katie Kurumada's teacher voice.
