About this listen

In this episode, Dr. Daris McInnis pulls back the curtain on how literacy actually develops. He clearly breaks down early literacy into its core components—oral language, print awareness, alphabet knowledge, and phonological awareness—and explains why reading is not instinctual like speaking, but must be explicitly taught. Listeners walk away with a practical, empowering understanding of what’s broken in how we think about literacy, and how parents and caregivers can build strong foundations for reading starting at birth.
