Book Club for Kids - Podcast

 Have you listened to Podcasts?  I am just now discovering Kidcasts - podcasts aimed specifically at children.  Many of these Kidcasters can also be found on the web.

I found this wonderful Podcast today.  Books for Kids.  

How to describe this wonderful podcast?  Kitty hosts book club discussions with a group of kids.  The discussion is taped and becomes a part of the podcast.  Not only that, her discussions frequently have the author of the book or another celebrity who joins in the discussion.

With a number of people schooling from home right now, I thought that this would be an awesome resource to share.  

Let's take a quick look at her most recent post - for Angie Thomas's Book "On the Come Up".  The Podcast includes a discussion of the book with students from DC's West Education Campus.  Actress Tallie Johnson is the Celebrity Reader.  On the website, we have the direct link to the podcast.  Angie Thomas' Playlist for the book. Favorite books from the students who were a part of the discussion. 

There are so many books that are included in the discussion series.  Every book that is listed has similar resources.

Parents, this is a phenomenal way to engage your at home children.  She has included a link at the top of the page under Educators and Parents that will help you extend the reading beyond the book for your child.

I struggle with calling what we are doing right now Home Schooling.  I've heard it called Crisis Schooling, and I agree that this might very well be the best name for our current situation.  

Stay healthy, y'all.  Wash your hands.  Don't touch your face.  Get sleep.
