I think reading is part of the birthright of the human being

If we marry educational technology with quality, enriching content, that's a circle of win.

That's not a role you prepare for. There's no preparation. You don't have time to prepare for the reading of an audiobook. You do the reading of an audiobook in basically two days' time - an unabridged version, maybe three days.

Maturity is a series of shattered illusions.

For me, literacy means freedom. For the individual and for society.

We have an amazing advantage right now in that we have developed technology that is so sexy, so engaging for kids.

I'm a firm believer and always have been that there aren't all that many things that you should not express to children in an age-appropriate manner, and as a parent, that is your job - to be discerning as to whether or not your child can handle the information, provided you have the ability to express yourself in that age-appropriate way.
