Joe Tadros

Joe Tadros lives in Southern California with his wife and three wonderful kids. Joe studied the impact of literacy on democracies in college at Yale University, but now works as an in-house attorney and teaches brand protection at UCI Law School. Having spent many years as a litigator, Joe came to appreciate the power and nuance of the English language. As a parent (and as a son of immigrants), he is intimately familiar with the importance (and challenges!) of teaching language and literacy to children.

When his middle child was about 3½ years old, Joe started creating lists of short, rhyming words to introduce the concept of reading to him…and it worked! He began reading words on his own and became a great little reader, reading chapters books in kindergarten. About three years later, Joe started creating whimsical, short stories using the words from those word lists to make the learning process more fun and engaging when it came time to teach his daughter to read. She is now a 2nd Grader reading at a 5th Grade level! Through these books, the Tadros family hopes to share the joy of reading with budding readers and help other families along their reading journeys!
