The Bridge: Live Q+A

with Gina Higginbotham, CCC-SLP

Ready to Read with Early Literacy & Movement (Preschool)

Tuesday, July 21st at 7:30 PM EDT

Join us for a live, virtual Q+A with Gina Higginbotham, CCC-SLP, an Arkansas-based speech-language pathologist specializing in early literacy and movement for preschool-aged children. This engaging conversation will explore how movement, play, and connection can support the foundational skills young children need for reading, including language development, listening, phonological awareness, attention, and engagement. Attendees will gain practical ideas for incorporating movement into everyday routines to build early literacy skills, confidence, and a positive relationship with books and reading at home, in the classroom, and in therapeutic settings.

This is your opportunity to gain real-world, practical knowledge and tools that can be applied at home or in professional care. This is a must-attend event for parents, educators, therapists, and caregivers seeking compassionate, real-world strategies to help every child reach their fullest potential.
