Sailing The Seas Of Literacy

Ahoy, mateys! This episode of the Reading with Your Kids podcast is a treasure trove of inspiration and adventure. We're setting sail with two incredible guests who are using their passions to inspire the next generation of readers and STEM enthusiasts. First up, we've got the one and only Jennifer Swanson, our "Admiral of Adventure" and the "Dean of all things STEM and STEAM." Jennifer is here to tell us all about her brand new book, "Up Periscope," which shines a light on the incredible story of Ray Montague - a pioneering female engineer who revolutionized ship design for the Navy. Jennifer's infectious enthusiasm for science and engineering is sure to spark curiosity in kids (and adults!) of all ages. But the adventure doesn't stop there! We're also joined by the legendary Captain Kidd Carson, the mastermind behind the "Captain Kidd Carson's Bookaneerss" literacy program. Keith's passion for reading was ignited by his own daughter's love of books, and now he's on a mission to make reading fun and engaging for kids through the power of pirate tales. With his custom-built pirate ship mobility scooter and treasure trove of pirate-themed books, Keith is bringing the high seas to classrooms and libraries everywhere. Whether you're a landlubber or a seasoned sailor, this episode has something for everyone. Dive in and discover the magic that happens when you combine literacy, STEM, and a healthy dose of swashbuckling adventure. So grab your eye patch, hoist the sails, and get ready to set sail on a journey of learning and discovery!
