Listening to books on tape is so important for children. It helps them to learn fluency, comprehension and further develops their phonemic awareness. Above a student is holding the story "A Soup Opera" By author Jim Gill. The students loved the comical aspect of the story about a man, a bowl of soup and the man's operatic and comically frustrating quest to eat it! The students loved playfully singing the story along with the narrator. What a great way for children to listen to reading.
Continuing education programs are important as there are consistently new methods, programs, ideas, etc. that are beneficial while working with children. Mrs. JoAnn believes that she will never stop learning! What a great lesson for children. Recently Mrs. JoAnn attended a family care conference where she spent hours learning and meeting new people. Below is a picture of her with Jim Gill the Author of "A Soup Opera." While attending a seminar on literacy with children, Mrs. JoAnn was able to meet with him and get a signed copy of his amazing book! She is excited to implement all the new strategies that she learned!
