Hopewell Valley Student Podcasting Network 

Show Name:  Beyond a Bedtime Story

Episode Title:  Prologue

You are listening to Beyond a Bedtime Story the podcast with your host Emily.

In this episode of Beyond a Bedtime Story the Podcast I invite you to join my journey inside picture books.

Segment 1: Introduction

Hi everyone! My name is Emily, and you’re listening to my show “Beyond a Bedtime Story”! As it turns out, there’s a lot that adults can learn from picture books, so don’t toss out that library card just yet. Learn how to engage your child beyond simply reading verbatim from the page as such support is becoming increasingly necessary following the literacy disruptions caused by the Pandemic. If you don’t believe me, simply listen in on the first episode where I will uncover the insightful stories that I gathered while researching literacy practices within a Kindergarten classroom last year. I will help you keep up to date on the trends of literacy experiences that may be impacting your child, all the while ensuring that you’re certified in the “art of reading children’s books”. Stop by to hear my favorites of current and past picture books that will keep your child excited for your expert bedtime stories. And, of course, whether you're a parent or not, gain intimate knowledge regarding the writing process as I uncover the successes and challenges of writing my debut picture book. Be the first to hear snippets of my book and advice hot off the presses of my experiences as an author. What better way to understand the inner-workings of picture books than by hearing from someone assembling one of their own.
