I'm so excited for you to meet Dr. Terica Butler. She is a former teacher and believes literacy is a tool to build student identity and ignite in them curiosity about themselves and the world around them. 
She spent most of her career supporting literacy initiatives in large urban school districts before creating her business, Apex Education Consulting Solutions, LLC, in 2018. She started her company to meet the professional learning needs of teachers and leaders. Then she decided to add a student solution service during the pandemic. And here we are two years later, she has refined the model into virtual literacy learning pods for grades 3-5. 
In addition, Dr. Terica likes to spend time outside in the garden, listening to music and spending quality time with her loved ones.
In this episode, we talk about the power of read-alouds. 
Tune in for some really specific reasons why read-alouds are amazing and for some really easy tips and action items for you when you are picking out a read-aloud for your family.
