For each radio show on Learn and Play with Mrs A, I take notes because I’m learning so much about kids and kindergarten readiness from fascinating guests who are experts in a variety of areas. Each of them is passionate about kids and loves the work, or maybe that’s play? Here’s a play-of-the-day suggested from our play-of-the-week conversations and a little information about these awesome guests.
Terri Mack was taking delivery of over 80,000 books the week we talked. Any guesses about her passion? Terri is an educator and literacy coordinator who began compiling books for aboriginal/indigenous readers. Then she assembled a team to write stories using indigenous themes for any and all early readers.
Her play-of-the-day is to read and share books and stories with little ones. In any language that’s comfortable for you and your child. She calls stories “brain-candy”, and says to help children become kids-who-want-to-read that we “need to make it fun.” What books will you share with your child today?
Terri’s website is: www.strongnations.com (the Kids Books tab is my favorite). Here is the link to the podcast to hear more about and from Terri:
