About Marcia Moon
Marcia Moon is an early childhood literacy advocate, teacher, consultant, and parent coach who has worked with thousands of teachers, children, and parents across the country.

Marcia co-led the team that created the Mrs. Bush’s Story Time radio shows — a four-year collaboration with First Lady Barbara Bush that aired on ABC Radio Networks nationwide to promote reading aloud and family literacy.
She was also instrumental in creating and raising funding for a city-wide organization in Providence, RI that built comprehensive early literacy systems, including professional development and literacy training for parents, librarians, and early childhood educators. Her writing for educators has appeared on Edutopia.

Book detailsPraise
From families Marcia has worked with
Marcia is a gifted educator who has profoundly impacted our children, Isabella and Edward’s development from age 3. She has used her vast knowledge to curate age-appropriate learning journeys spanning geography, history, culture, science and technology. She has inspired a love for reading and appreciation of history, but most of all they have the capability to ask WHY and dig deeper for truth. While we believe that this relationship with Marcia has helped to unlock our children’s intellectual capacity, the real impact is their enrichment on a human level as they have grown to become highly engaged, empathetic to the challenges in our world and motivated to make a difference.
Marcia has been an invaluable asset as we navigated the waves of parenting our first child. She's helped us, given advice and incubated a love for reading in our daughter that we know will stay with her for life. There are a lot of tough decisions when you're raising your first kid but Marcia made the choice to read to her early and often one of the easiest.
Marcia has worked with our family since our first daughter was born. She gave us valuable insight into how we could promote literacy and a love of reading in our child from day one. We started reading to Grace the day she came home from the hospital and used Marcia's guidance to progress our techniques over the years. Grace is now in Kindergarten, loves books and reading, and is excelling in her school's bilingual literacy curriculum. We now get the privilege of using this guidance with our son as well. Marcia has shared fantastic books with us over the years that are not only engaging for our children but also promote diverse characters.
