Episode 1 - Brainy Acts Literacy Blooms: Why Early Literacy Changes Everything (Launch Episode)

Welcome to Brainy Acts Literacy Blooms—where early literacy meets brain science and real-world practice. In this launch episode, we introduce the heart behind the podcast, share the host’s early education origin story, and explain why literacy before age five matters more than most people realize. With 90% of the brain developing by age five, what we do early shapes learning for life.
Created for families, educators, childcare providers, and advocates, this episode builds trust, sets the vision, and includes a demonstration read-aloud from a literacy specialist that shows how evidence-promoted teaching actually looks in action.
🎧 If you care about readiness, confidence, and joyful learning—this is where it starts.
