Joe TadrosJoe Tadros was born and raised in Southern California and has lived there for most of his life. He and his wife have three wonderful kids: two boys and one girl. When his middle child, Tyler, was 31/2 years old, Joe started creating lists of short, ryming 3-letter words to introduce the concept of reading to him...and it worked! He quickly began reading words on his own, has since become a great little reader, and even started reading chapter books in kindergarten! About three years later, when it came time to teach his daughter to read, Joe began creating short, whimsical stories using the words from the same word lists he created for Tyler with the hope of making the process of learning to read more fun and engaging. Through these books, the Tadros family hopes to share the joy of reading with budding readers and help other families along their reading journeys!Joe studied the impact of literacy on societies during his undergraduate work at Yale University, and now works in corporate compliance helping companies to conduct business ethically and do the right thing. Having spent many years as a litigator, Joe came to appreciate the power and nuance of the English language. As a son of immigrants and as a parent, he is intimately familiar with the importance of teaching language and literacy to our children and the many challenges involved. Let's get reading!
