Storytelling in your Voice
We believe reading is foundational for learning and development of children and should be incorporated into many minutes each day. You can read more on a post we wrote called Reading from the Start by clicking here. What we want to tell you about now is an app that Kim’s brother in law developed where your children, grandchildren, students, nieces, nephews, friends (you get the idea) can listen and follow along with a story that you read or tell! It’s called Snug Stories and it is a great way to stay connected whether you live in the same house or across the miles from your loved one. All you have to do is record your voice and the pages of a book as you read and you can do it easily within the app!
3 Ways we will use Snug Stories at Just Like GRAMMY & POPPOP’s
- Our team will record stories and share books to the children’s Snug Stories bookshelf so they can listen to a story from school!
- As families are able, when they share books to Just Like GRAMMY & POPPOP’s bookshelf, we can listen to them in class.
- In person opportunities to read to the class can’t be beat, but we understand that is difficult to fit in as much as families may want.
- We will be gifting our families a subscription for one year of unlimited access with each enrollment!
I just love the story about how this way to connect by reading came to be. Arlo was having a difficult time transitioning to school after a summer at his grandparents’ house and his Dad came up with a plan . . . Snug Stories.
Go grab Snug Stories now from the Apple App Store and dig out one of those iPods you have laying around with a pair of headphones or airpods. It’s very user intuitive and we are happy to help if you have any questions!
If you are joining us at Just Like GRAMMY & POPPOP’s, we can’t wait to build our bookshelves and share with you!
