Teacher Reports that Odds Bodkin Stories Used in New Online Lab Support Core Standards

Posted on by Odds Bodkin

Story Preservation Initiative, or SPI, has launched something new. The organization, renowned for its interviews with famous people–interviews that older students can access online–has added something new for younger students, K-3.

Odds Bodkin stories on audio with full curriculum follow-up. Stories that support core standards. Visit here.

Here’s a fall 2019 teacher review:

“There are five wonderfully told stories along with PDF multifaceted lesson plans.  The stories are engaging and Odds Bodkin has amazing effects to bring each to life.  The fables are definitely geared to celebrating our natural world.  The Evergreens, for example is a fable about deciduous versus evergreen trees and about why they loose their leaves.  The lesson plans give you multiple ways to tie the books into different core standards.”

If you are a K-3 teacher, or know one, please share this information. There are five Odds Bodkin stories available in this exciting new program.

 

A TRUSTED VOICE

Posted on by Odds Bodkin

Studies warn nowadays that increasing numbers of young kids are entering school without deep trust in an adult figure. Any adult figure. You can blame it on family breakup, drugs, poverty, or just frenetic modern life in general, I suppose, because even in affluent families, plenty of kids have to compete with their parents’ smartphones to get their attention.

Whatever the causes, Story Preservation Initiative (SPI) has decided that my audio stories for young kids might help by providing a consistent and trusted voice in their lives.

I’m honored and delighted to have my works viewed in this way, and to be part of a school-based program like SPI’s.
