What if every conversation, song, story, and playful interaction could literally shape the brains of the whole family? Join this highly interactive workshop to discover how early brain development fuels the language and literacy skills that lead to lifelong reading success for children and how to help adult learners adopt brain-based practices in multigenerational learning for families. Through engaging role-play of engaging practices, video deconstruction, and collaborative discussion, you’ll connect the latest neuroscience with practical strategies you can use immediately to support family literacy. Explore how intentional adult-child interactions strengthen oral language, phonological development, phonics, print and letter knowledge, writing, and socioemotional learning. You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of how the brain learns—and a personalized action plan for creating brain-friendly environments that support every family’s literacy journey. This session will provide research-based, hands-on tools to transform everyday interactions into powerful opportunities for building the neural foundations of language, literacy, and lifelong learning.
