As a school librarian, mother and reader. (Two of those for a decade now and one for much more). I must admit that I have never dabbled in using Podcasts in school or in my personal life. Some of my friends have suggested them, but I haven’t taken the time to enjoy any yet. I thoroughly enjoyed looking at the Best Podcasts for Children’s Books by Sarah. S Davis. https://bookriot.com/best-podcasts-for-childrens-books/ One of the podcasts that I spent some time with was Read-Aloud Revival from Sarah Mackenzie. My nephew has Dyslexia, so I instantly noticed a few podcasts about that subject. She also includes booklists and tips for the whole family. If I make it through the last week of school this week, I will definitely spend some more time with this podcast along with some of the other remarkable ones that are included in the list. I think podcasts can be very effective in the classroom as a brain-break or transition activity. We all need a minute to breathe and our students might love this time to listen to a story, mystery or fact of the day. Next year I would like to incorporate at least one podcast into my library time. I have always thought that strong readers stem from being read to and a podcast can certainly be part of that strengthening.
