The Lit. Lounge

Welcome to the Lit. Lounge! 

As a former educator, reading aloud to my students was always my favorite part of the school day. The priceless expressions of excitement and wonder that would light up their faces brought me so much joy! The ideas and thoughts they would share as we asked questions and discussed our readings together, showed me the wide variety of intelligent young thinkers out there who were bright, creative, compassionate, and destined to become fluid and comprehensive readers themselves.

This channel is here for any child who simply loves to listen to a good story! It is also designed to help readers of all ability levels develop critical thinking skills. Learning to read is more than just decoding words, it’s understanding the words once you’ve decoded them. By reading aloud, thinking aloud, taking picture walks, and prompting young listeners to make predictions, think about theme, moral, and perspective, learners are developing higher order thinking skills. 📚💡🤓
