Acknowledging and owning up to a mistake is a very difficult task for children—and it’ s not always easy for adults, either! In this installment of the popular Dragon series from Clever, now in paperback, Tell the Truth, Dragon introduces a situation in which Dragon does something that she’ s not supposed to do, and then blames someone else for the mistake. Gentle text prompts readers to encourage Dragon to tell the truth and apologize for her mistake, even though it’ s a tough thing to do. Dragon realizes her mistake and offers an apology—and then more than makes up for it! Designed to be a read-aloud, parents will take pleasure in the playful text as much as children will enjoy following the prompts to interact with Dragon. The whimsical and colorful illustrations enable the dragon to jump off the page and will delight readers with her personality on every page.
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.
