Encouraging Young Readers through Read Aloud- Read Along Videos
As both an author and a mother, I understand the importance of reading with children. Reading aloud promotes literacy skills, expands vocabularies and imaginations, and strengthens the adult-child bond.
However, we all know that it's not always possible to sit down together with a physical book. That's why I'm excited to announce my new YouTube channel, Read Aloud with Nana, featuring read-along videos of stories for children.
Hearing and seeing the words helps them associate the written word to the sounds which are crucial for learning to read independently. Videos are also perfect for during car rides when mom or dad are busy driving, but the little ones can still journey together through stories!
In addition to literacy skills, read-aloud videos encourage the joy of reading. Allowing children to actively engage rather than passively watch entertains them while exposing them to new vocabulary, concepts, and more. Please subscribe to my YouTube channel and stay tuned for more of new favorite picture books brought to life through read-along videos!
Reading opens infinite worlds; let’s explore them together.
You can order a copy of "itty Bitty Kitty at Home" here so your child can turn the pages along with the video.
