GOOOOOOOOAL!! This Step 1 introduction to practically every child's first team sport is a win for emergent readers.
No hands--just feet. The game starts. Tweet! Young soccer enthusiasts will build their reading confidence as they learn about basic skills and the thrill of scoring a goal in Terry Pierce's rhythmic, rhyming Step 1 Reader. As she did in Jack and Jill and T-Ball Bill and Tae Kwon Do!, Pierce captures the excitement of sports while scaffolding reading with alliteration and word families.
Step 1 Readers feature big type and easy words for children who know the alphabet and are eager to begin reading. Rhyme and rhythmic text paired with picture clues help children decode the story.
About Read Aloud Edu:
Read Aloud Edu provides authentic, human-narrated read-aloud experiences designed to support children’s literacy and language development. My readings encourage active listening while helping children build vocabulary, comprehension, listening skills, emotional awareness, and a love of reading.
When appropriate, I incorporate educational guidance such as vocabulary explanations, comprehension questions, and prompts that encourage children to think, listen, and engage with the story. These readings also provide children learning English as an additional language with opportunities to hear and engage with natural English through children’s literature.
My educational background includes a degree in Hearing, Speech and Language Science, TEFL certification, and experience teaching English as a second language and working with individuals with disabilities. This background informs my focus on language, communication, listening, and accessible learning experiences.
Read Aloud Edu is an educational resource for families, educators, homeschoolers, and English-language learners. Each reading is my own narration and presentation, created to provide an engaging learning experience around children’s literature, not to replace the books themselves.
I encourage families to borrow or purchase the books featured on the channel and explore more books from their authors and publishers. Nothing beats having a story in your hands, flipping through the pages, and sharing a book together.
Stories are read without mid-roll ads, so children can enjoy the reading from beginning to end without an advertisement interrupting the story.
