Parents know literacy is foundational to all other learning.

Without reading, acquiring knowledge will be more difficult as children are dependent on others to determine when and what information is communicated and taught.

Without writing, the ability to thinking critically, to develop reasoning, and to communicate clearly is hindered.

Building Literacy starts with great stories that engage the mind, inspire the imagination, and reflect enduring truth.

In today’s world, parents are inundated with many forms of media to manage and while parents want their children to be lifelong learners and to have a love and passion for reading, the messaging, agendas, and propaganda in today’s material marketed to children leaves parents without resources to navigate often hostile territory.

Holding Steadfast is all about equipping parents with the information they need to make the choices about what their children do and do not read. To do that, parents need real book reviews. Parents will find access to book reviews and information towards that aim. The reviews from Holding Steadfast are also from a Biblical Worldview, which informs and reflects the information noted in the reviews.

My heart and desire is to help parents find great books for their children to read and to help them foster the love for reading that leads to a lifetime of learning in all other areas of their lives and helps to create independent thinkers and doers for years to come.
