SMARTER Literacy Chat with Vicki Brackett

What happens when a speech-language pathologist with hundreds of hours of literacy training still can't find a curriculum that pulls it all together? In this literacy chat, we sit down with Vicki, an SLP whose career has taken her from Alaska to Virginia, and from the schools to a private practice she's built entirely on her own terms. Vicki talks honestly about the gap between having the training and having the tools, what it looks like to start small and stay focused, and why finding a community matters just as much as finding a program. She also shares some of the most meaningful moments from her work, including an adult learner who didn't know there were rules for reading, and a fourth grader who went from a really dark place to reading chapter books on her own. If you're an SLP thinking about incorporating literacy into your practice, or an educator wondering whether private practice might be the right next step, this conversation is worth your time.
