Trailer for Parents: Children's Stories with a Reading Teacher!

Hi! My name is Linda Cohen. I’m a reading specialist who loves sharing stories with children.

On this podcast, you’ll hear a mix of folktales, stories written by other authors, and original tales inspired by my own childhood and imagination. My goal is to spark curiosity, nurture a love of stories, and create meaningful moments you can share with your child.

Because these stories are told aloud, there are no pictures—and that’s intentional. Listening without visuals encourages children to develop one of the most important early literacy skills: visualizing. As they listen, they learn to turn words into mental images. In a sense, your child becomes the “director” of their own story experience, building a personal movie in their mind.

This kind of active listening strengthens comprehension, attention, creativity, and imagination. It may take practice, but it’s a joyful and valuable skill—and I’ll guide them along the way. Encourage your child to listen for details, ask questions, and share the pictures they imagined.

Thank you for joining me on this storytelling journey.

A new episode will be available each month!
