Science says answer your children's questions and ask them some yourself to encourage #earlylearning and a lifelong curious nature. We couldn't agree more! nytimes.com/2020/03/27/par…

This joint statement from the National Education Policy Center and the Education is so important to us. "It’s time for...the literacy community and policymakers to fully support the literacy needs of all children." It's well worth a read. nepc.colorado.edu/publication/fy…

For #InternationalWomensDay, try reading a story with a female main character, like Maria's Garden! Chat about the garden she grows with her parents and how she's helping to plant the flowers.

What a great read from @CressidaCowell for @nytopinion! At ReadAskChat, we want children to have this same awe of nature that encourages creativity--it's why our science stories are so important, especially for city kids without access to the countryside. nytimes.com/2020/02/07/opi…

This is ReadAskChat's vision--we prioritize listening and asking questions (and helping you find the right questions to ask) for exactly this reason. Thanks to @KateMurphyNews and @nytopinion for this great read. nytimes.com/2020/01/09/opi…

"...The MIT scientists stressed the importance of not just talking to small children, but talking with them—something all parents have the ability to do..." This is so about us, it might as well have our name on it. What an amazing piece from @FatherlyHQ! fatherly.com/health-science…

"Forcing young children to read...while eliminating speech and listening skills, is a seriously ignored concern..." This is why we say to chat! It's so important to make talk and play the focus, not drills and facts. What a great piece, @NancyEBailey1! nancyebailey.com/2019/12/07/its…
