If I asked you to guess the number one killer of children and teens – what would be your answer? Shocking but true - It’s gun violence. I speak to Scott Charles Trauma Outreach Manager at Temple University about a collaboration between local hospitals to raise awareness about gun safety.

Right2ReadPhilly is a summer campaign to help families support early literacy for their kids. They are piloting a program to promote Simple Signs (First Words in American Sign Language) that can boost speech and early learning. I speak to Sara Novic, best selling novelist, and deaf rights activists with her interpreter Sarah Reed and Dr. Heseung Song, President and CEO of Mighty Engine, lead consultant on the Right2Read Campaign.
Some great ways to get involved:
Post your family’s unique spin on
Simple Signs for a chance to win $1,000! We don’t care if you’ve perfected
Simple Signs. We just want you to have fun practicing together as a family.
Take the
Simple Signs survey of just six questions on the website and get a $10 Amazon card.
