Dr. Jenn Overstreet · Literacy educator for families · 📍 USA / Rome, Italy
I help parents raise kids who read without being asked.
16 years teaching kids from more than 20 countries. Today I teach 44K parents how to build thinking, curious, dangerously literate kids at home.
Platforms
Where parents find me
Instagram is home base. TikTok and Facebook are growing, my email list hears from me twice a week, and my YouTube channel launches in January 2027.

Top carousels
What wins on my page: ideas a parent can try tonight, framed as an advantage for their kid. That is the slot where a product shows up naturally.
Original ideas
Ideas you only get from a literacy educator
Parents follow me for habits they have never heard before. A few of the formats and concepts that are mine.
Dangerously literate
My name for kids who read, think, question, and have something to say. It runs through my hooks, my series, and my products.
The weekly etymology date
One word a week, traced back through history at dinner. Kids start hunting for word origins on their own.
Change my mind
A family debate game that teaches kids to build an argument, listen to the other side, and back up a claim.
The question chase
When a kid asks a great question, it becomes a hunt: a printed kids' article first, then the next question.
One object, five lenses
Study a single object as a scientist, a historian, an artist, a writer, and a designer would.
Year 1 me vs Year 16 me
A split-screen series on what I believed as a new teacher and what 16 years taught me instead.
Mission and vision
Why I do this
Being dangerously literate is the ultimate unfair advantage in life.
Mission
Give parents the habits, conversations, and books that grow thinking readers at home. Holistic literacy: curiosity, talk, writing, and a real love of books, for the whole child.
Vision
A generation of kids who read on their own, ask better questions, and grow into capable adults. I play the long game. Report cards come and go.
My story
A mentor put me on the leadership path in my first year of teaching. I spent more than a decade coaching teachers and leading professional learning in schools across multiple countries. Then I walked away to teach 12 first graders and ran my classroom like a literacy lab. Those kids left knowing they were readers. I moved to Rome at 28, learned Italian from scratch, and now teach families all over the world.
Audience
Parents who want more than a reading level
My followers are parents of kids aged 4 to 12 who care about the whole child. They buy books, games, and learning tools, and they act on what I share.
International families
Expat, worldschooling, and multilingual families who want strong readers wherever they live.
US homeschool families
Parents who run their own learning at home and look for ideas that go beyond worksheets.
Ambitious parents
Families whose kids are already reading and who want them thinking, writing, and ahead.

How your brand would show up
Pick your category to see the kind of content I would make with you.
I only partner with products I would recommend to the families I teach. That is why parents trust what I share, and why it works for the brands I say yes to.
