Literacy for Littles Caitlin Spurr Join me on my journey as I teach my three year old how to read and write. It is my goal that she’s able to recognize all of her letters and sounds by kindergarten and is hopefully putting those letters and sounds together to begin how to read. I am a former literary specialist of 15 years with a passion for developmentally appropriate ways of teaching reading and writing. I have worked to teach children how to read and write ranging from pre-k to 8th grade. I specialize in executional learners, those learners who don’t learn the same as all the other kiddos!
