As a speech language pathologist, it’s no surprise how much I value language and literacy. I’ve had a passion for reading ever since I can remember and I can often be caught in the middle of one (or two or three) books! I began building my children’s book library when I was in graduate school pursing a Master’s degree in Communication Sciences & Disorders. I quickly figured out that not only are books fundamental to learning, but they also make wonderful activities for speech therapy. I incorporate books into my lesson plans on a daily basis, and my children’s book library has grown to reflect that, so I was beyond thrilled when Literati reached out to invite me to become an ambassador.
