Episode 3: The Power of Literacy

November is Family Literacy Month, and our guests Stephanie Byars, the Director of District and School Support at the Shasta County Office of Education, and Heather Armelino, Superintendent of the Enterprise Elementary School District and Chair of Reach Higher Shasta Early Literacy Committee, share insights into local reading initiatives, challenges, and successes. They delve into the science of reading, the value of reading with kids, the importance of reducing screen time, leading by example, and more. They're aiming for a future where all Shasta County  graduates are skilled readers who are well equipped to follow the college and/or career path they choose.
