Quick fact: Did you know that reading 20 minutes a day can build vocabulary, love of reading, immersion, and fluency?
In fact, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends daily reading aloud from birth to increase vocabulary and healthy brain development.
As a first year teaching candidate, the use of Vooks is a popular resource which I have noticed many teachers using within their classrooms. Vooks is a kid-safe, ad-free streaming library of read-aloud animated storybooks. Their aim is to encourage the love of reading by retaining all of the important elements of story time: read-along pacing, life lessons, and a visual connection between words and text. It's quality screen time you can feel good about. It is enjoyed by millions of children every week, trusted by parents, and loved by teachers. It can be accessed on all of your favourite devices including tablets, smartphones and desktop computers. Although it is $4.99 a month, you will have access to thousands of animated virtual books. Did I mention that Vooks will allow its users to try their service for one month?! (Free of charge!)
For all of you future educators, it is important to note that Vooks is adored by elementary educators all over the world. Their animated, read-along storybooks and downloadable teacher resources have been invaluable in engaging students and teaching valuable lessons of kindness, creativity, history, and so much more.
