Preparing Children for School Success


Language and Literacy:

Preparing Children for School Success
Bates Technical College’s Home and Family Life Department presents the 15th Annual Brain Series
Thursday, April 26, 7 - 9 p.m.
South Campus Auditorium, 2201 S. 78th Street, Tacoma. This event is FREE.

Language and communication skills are important to help prepare your child for school.
In fact, advances in brain and behavioral research have bolstered interest in preparing children for
school success. At this year’s Brain Series, you can make the connection between the importance of
early experiences (play, language and literacy) and future academic learning from Dr. Lebedeva, an
expert in emergent language and early literacy. STARS credit is available. No registration required.

Dr. Gina Lebedeva
Dr. Lebedeva is the translation, outreach, and education director at the University
of Washington’s Institute for Learning & Brain Sciences (I-LABS). She believes that
by translating research on how early experiences sculpt the brain, we can better
support children’s learning.
