Queen J Reads' Kid Forward

The world changes day by day. One of the toughest daily challenges is talking about these changes with the children in our lives. The little ones we love so much often have questions about the things that they see and we, as adults, sometimes find ourselves unable to answer.

At the same time, our kids are expected to keep learning and progressing the same way they did in the classroom, which is not at all easy.

For this reason, the Kid Forward Literacy Guide and Journal and Mobile Application was designed. It was created with families and learners of all backgrounds in mind.

With the Mobile program and journal, you and your child can use the pictures and prompts to tell stories. Storytelling is a form of playing that helps children think as well as get and keep information. It also builds communication between parent and child, which builds up confidence and language skills.

Your child is also free to use this journal to record their thoughts and feelings as well as browse the pictures to jumpstart family conversation.

You are your child’s first teacher and learning is very important. However, positive communication is just as necessary to your child’s life beyond the classroom. Thank you for picking up this journal. I wish you and your child the best on this journey together.
