The goal of KidLit TV is to get children interested in reading by
offering information about different authors that children may find appealing. KidLit
TV provides videos of author interviews and book trailers that students can
watch, as well as crafts and activities related to different stories that
teachers can use in the classroom. Users can type a book title into the search
bar to find activities, read-alouds, and more.
Children can watch Ready Set Draw and be
inspired by illustrators from children’s literature. The speakers also give
step-by-step instructions so children can follow along and create their own
illustrations. This can encourage children to want to read more books to learn
about what they can draw next. It may even encourage them to come up with
creative characters and scenes for a story of their own.
Another show, Past Present: Giving Past
Stories New Life, seems more suited for older children or even teachers and
other authors. This show gives readers the opportunity to learn about
non-fiction and compare their own experiences with people from the past. This
can get readers to relate to the characters in non-fiction stories, making it
more enjoyable for the readers.
There is also KidLit Radio, where
podcasts can be downloaded to listen to later. This is a great resource for
parents and teachers because they can download read-alouds and talk shows and
play it in the car, in the classroom, and straight from their phones. This is
also great for children because they can listen to stories
Children today enjoy going online and watching
videos of almost anything. With this website, children can be exposed to more stories
and be encouraged to read more books. Parents and teachers will have access to
activities and crafts for their children, as well as be able to download
podcasts to listen to on-the-go.
