United Through Reading’s own Molly Haskin, a licensed, certified Speech Language Pathologist, joins Josie to discuss what reading looks like at every reading stage, from newborn all the way through the teen years.

As an active duty spouse, Molly is very familiar with military life and how reading can be an important part of bonding as a family. And, she’s an expert in the world of how reading connects to speaking and communicating, so you’ll hear fascinating information on everything from the science of reading to how reading with your children can provide helpful information when moving and changing schools.
