About Us

Our lessons were developed under Dr. Tina Taylor with contributions from BYU students in fields like Education and Communication Disorders. Grounded in research and supported by scholars such as Juan Freire, Grant Eckstein, and Barbara Culatta, these materials use evidence-based strategies, including picture book instruction and Total Physical Response (TPR video).
