She created these resources to help parents play a more active role in the development of their children.
Children are never too young to learn about Black history and the importance of reading, writing, and math. “Stories about Black History” by Danita Smith provides an excellent starting point for engaging children in these topics. With engaging images and informative text, these books celebrate the contributions that Black people have made throughout history and encourage children to be proud of their own heritage.
In addition to reading about black history, children should also be taught the skills of reading, writing, and math. In “Ten Things Your Child Should Know about Reading, Writing, and Math,” Smith provides valuable advice to parents for teaching these essential skills. By combining knowledge of Black history with practical knowledge of literacy and mathematics, parents can help their children excel in school and in life.
She hopes to share what she has learned to expose others to growing fields of opportunity.
