Lauren Daugherty is a passionate advocate for early literacy and family engagement in education, with a dream of becoming an acclaimed author. Fueled by a lifelong love for storytelling and a deep commitment to empowering parents and educators, she is dedicated to nurturing young readers and exploring ways to make literacy engaging for families. Currently absorbed in her debut work, "Literacy Roots: Nurturing Your Child's Reading Journey from Birth to Brilliance," she finds that her experience as a mother of four provides a wealth of real-world insights for her writing. Her passion for literacy was ignited in 2017 when her oldest struggled with reading due to ADHD. This journey has enriched her writing and reinforced her belief that every child deserves the opportunity to become a confident, capable reader, with parents as the key to unlocking this potential.
