Wolf’s focus is on public health, leadership, and the connection between literacy skills, and health. Wolf’s research on early literacy shows the connection between early childhood literacy, later adult literacy, and living a productive, healthy life. Wolf has spent decades teaching preschool children to read. She has presented her work at the National Institute for Healthcare Advancement’s Health Literacy Conference in 2010, and 2013. Wolf is currently writing up her research results with bilingual, Latino teachers and First Grade Hispanic children on early biliteracy.
