<p>We all dream of the day we can retire... but what happens when that day arrives? </p><p><br></p><p>In this very special episode, I sit down with my mom, who two weeks ago retired from a career in teaching.

017: Packing Day: The Magic Inside The Pre-Reading SLP Playbooks

She just had to capture this moment and the energy behind why this product exists.</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode Elizabeth covers:</p><ul><li>Why she created the Pre-Reading SLP Playbook and what makes it different</li><li>The behind-the-scenes of bringing a physical product to market (spoiler: envelopes are harder than you think)</li><li>Her research collaboration on pre-literacy skills in children with a history of late talking, and what the evidence says</li><li>What Elizabeth and her co-researcher measured and why it matters before school even starts</li><li>Why "wait and see" is a missed opportunity, and what SLPs can do differently starting at age 3</li></ul><p><br></p><p>If you've ever wondered whether early intervention in literacy is really within your scope — this episode is your answer. Elizabeth believes we can identify literacy risk before school starts. That means we can stop reading failure before it starts. That's the magic.</p><p><br></p><p>FREE RESOURCE: <a href="https://thereadingslp.lpages.co/freebie-og-from-talkers-to-readers-free-guide/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">💖 FROM TALKERS TO READERS: A FREE GUIDE FOR SLPS ON HOW TO SUPPORT LITERACY IN THE EARLY YEARS 💖</a></p><p></p><p>Let's have some fun this summer! <a href="https://thereadingslp.lpages.co/reading-slp-evergreen/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Join The Reading SLP! </a></p>
