Literacy Lava is the brainchild of Share a Story-Shape a Future contributor (and tireless literacy advocate) Susan Stephenson (The Book Chook),. Several months ago, she asked several of us book-blogger types if we would be interested in collaborating on an easy-to-use eZine for parents. We all said YES! In this inaugural edition, you'll find articles from Valerie Baartz The Almost Librarian, Dawn Morris from Moms Inspire Learning, Kim Chatel of Chatel Village; Amy from Literacy Launchpad, and Terry Doherty from The Reading Tub.

We would love to have your feedback. Have an idea for something you'd like us to talk about? Feel free to leave a comment here or stop by The Book Chook to chat with Editor-in-Chief Susan.
