Check out this sneak peek!

Join Dr. Susan Neuman, renowned early literacy scholar, Professor of Childhood and Literacy at NYU, and policy leader, and Kelly Trygstad, brightwheel’s Head of Curriculum and Instruction, for a practical, research-based conversation about what early literacy really looks like in action.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• 📘 Make the Science of Reading actionable: Learn how core principles of early literacy—like oral language, storybook reading, and vocabulary development—can be applied in age-appropriate, engaging ways for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers.
•  🧠 Balance explicit instruction with play: Hear expert insights on how to blend structured learning with meaningful, play-based experiences.
• 📊 Shift focus beyond the ABCs: Understand the difference between constrained skills (like letter recognition) and unconstrained skills (like vocabulary and comprehension)—and why the latter drive long-term literacy success.
•  👨‍👩‍👧 Bridge the gap with families: Discover how to translate early literacy best practices into language families understand—and use that connection to support school readiness.
