504 From ABCs to “Aha!”: Using Data to Build Real Readers
Reading doesn’t happen by luck—it happens with intention. In this episode of The Child Care Director’s Chair, Erica sits down with Tangee Peak, The Toddler Tutor, to talk about how informed data can turn everyday preschool moments into powerful literacy wins.
This isn’t about drowning in assessments or staring at spreadsheets. It’s about knowing what to look for, noticing the small clues children give us, and using that information to support language, early reading skills, and confidence—right when it matters most. Together, they break down how data helps move children from memorizing ABCs to those magical “aha!” moments where literacy really clicks.
If you’re ready to stop guessing, teach with purpose, and build real readers while keeping play at the center, this episode is for you.
