đ§Peanut Butter Podletter - Miss Pam reads (for adults)
March 15, 2024 - ISSUE of Peanut Butter, Pod-letter: Word-worthy "Why I am convinced without a doubt, that babies (and the adults who spend time with them) need my podcast." TRANSCRIPT: When you bring baby home, there are a million things to consider and navigate as everyone gets to know each other in this first year. Things are changing daily â heck, hourly! The first year is also a tender time even as it is gruelling. You want to do the best for your baby. And you are, hopefully, falling in love. While taking care of her physical needs, you also know itâs important to talk, sing, read and play with your baby. You know that you are your childâs first teacher, the single most important key to their brain and language development. Itâs all a bit, well, overwhelming. Eeeek! Enter SMALL TALK BABY PODCAST. I believe every family with a baby under 3 years needs my podcast, wherever they are in the world. Why? Thatâs easy⊠SMALL TALK BABY PODCAST (STBP) FUN. +Play is the work of children, from birth. It is through play that babies learn about the worldâthemselves and others. Every episode of STBP is a screen-free invitation to play with words and language. The podcast helps families build a routine around language development. RICH AND EXPRESSIVE LANGUAGE. +Food for a babyâs brain. It is designed to foster language development in a joyful way: it grows your babyâs vocabulary and comprehension, stimulates your babyâs imagination and curiosity through developmentally appropriate books, and teaches your baby about abstract concepts like emotions, countingâall without the distraction of a screen. BABIESâ BRAINS AND ADULT MODELLING. +Repetition is the key to learning. I used my 35 plus years of early literacy expertise to create this screen-free tool for a young child and the parents or caregivers. Every episode is theater to a babyâs ears, capturing their attention with the sounds within words, the music, intonation, rhyme and rhythm, volume and texture and with movement, both fine and gross. By listening regularly with your little one, you are building a shared wordplay/storytime repertoire of over 100 songs, rhymes, poems and fingerplays that you learn by repetition, alongside your little one. SCREEN-FREE Once your child knows what to expect, they will become intent on listening and participating in the fun you always have with them during this time. Turn it on during fussy moments in the car or high chair, during tummy time or the witching hour! I promise you that sharing 1 or 2 episodes every day over a 12 month period, will help your baby become a youngster with a wide vocabulary, comprehension and experiences through the songs and books I share. Every episode reinforces the rhythm and structure and diversity of language and gets you using new words in fun ways. +Remember to *Rate and *Review!* THANKS SO MUCH. đș Warmly, Miss Pam SUBSCRIBE on *SPOTIFY â â â Feedâ â â  and never miss an episode:- access to 130+ episodes and growing. **If your region doesn't allow Spotify then please head to our website to subscribe to our Premium Feed - listen anywhere:  â www.babywordplay.com Who is Miss Pam?? Award-winning librarian + early literacy specialist with over 35 years of experience in the field. +TESTIMONIALS: "I love the podcast.
