LiteracyWelcome to my podcast! I started this show in an effort to educate the public about the importance of literacy, especially when we have kids to look out for! I reference my time as an elementary schoolteacher & tutor + my current experience as a children's author & mama of 2 littles to address the biggest literacy issues facing us today. |

The Hate U Give, HarperAudio, written by: Angie Thomas (2018) Anna and the Swallow Man, Listening Library/Penguin Random House, written by: Gavriel Savit (2017)
The most important benefits with audiobooks are: 1) Sharpening listening skills 2) Connecting text-to-text or making connections with characters in the stories 3) Hearing grammatically correct language 4) Scaffolds higher level vocabulary 5) Teaching expression, inflection, & dialogue (since most audiobooks are read by professional actors or narrators) 6) Provides ideas for conversation topics 7) Reinforces comprehension (especially for kids who struggle to see read or understand the printed word) 8) Improving the reading rate of children (as their ability to recognize, comprehend & pronounce words improves, children can read faster.) 9) Foster confidence in young readers & academic success 10) Removes printed word/ text decoding anxiety https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/fortheloveofliteracy/PodcastEpisode12.wav_4.mp3  Have you heard of a pen designed to read a book aloud to your child & to develop innovation & critical thinking skills? Discover Talking Pen will also benefit kids who learn best through audiovisual means & has even proved very helpful & useful for kids with dyslexia & ADD. It's a great alternative to screen time & it's engaging. Plus, your kids will love the sound of your voice emanating from the pen. The little speaker at the top of the pen enables easy recording. Another fun fact: Talking Pen has 8,000 MB of memory & it can work with any book, as long as you use the DTP recording stickers.
