bit too. 00:03:56.000 --> 00:04:06.719 And I've been to a workshop where this teacher has talked about like, if a student says something and you repeat exactly what they say, it can sometimes kind of like take away their own voice. 00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:16.959 For example, if I ask a question and the student says, like, um, the leaves turn red outside when it's fall, and you say, The leaves do turn red outside when it's fall. 00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:27.600 You've just taken their idea and you kind of like stole it and made it your own, versus just saying, Thank you for that answer and then moving on, because they're the ones who voiced it and owned it. 00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:30.160 So let them have it and then just keep going. 00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:41.439 And I struggle with that a lot too, because I always repeat what they say back to me because when I say something, they repeat it back to me as well for comprehension, for speech, for all of those things. 00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:43.759 So I struggle with that as well, too. 00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:49.839 But I just when I went to that workshop and he said that, I was like, oh, that makes a lot of sense, you know? 00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:54.800 Just like let them own that idea and don't repeat it back to the rest of the class. 00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:59.120 Also, in a classroom setting, of course, it makes the other kids listen to each other. 00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:03.279 Whereas they know that whatever this kid says, I can ignore it because Ms. 00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:05.759 Golden's gonna repeat it in 30 seconds anyway. 00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:06.800 You know what I mean? 00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:12.879 So, but yeah, I loved that and I loved how like he just excited he was to read the book. 00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:16.959 Like some students, some children are just not like they don't want to read. 00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:23.839 And I just love to hear his joy in reading and interpreting the pictures the way, you know, it was just great. 00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:24.560 Yeah. 00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:31.120 And that is like thinking about different perspectives and I think even how to implement some of these strategies. 00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:31.439 Right. 00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:42.240 Because we're I'm really big on modeling and the different types of modeling, and one away, one of the ways is, you know, imitative modeling where Felix will say something and I'll say it back to him as a confirmation. 00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:42.720 Right. 00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:48.000 But I think it's really good what you said of like not making it feel like it's stealing. 00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:51.920 So when I'm and it's hard, I'm like I'm wrestling with that tip, right? 00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:52.079 Right. 00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:52.319 Yes. 00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:57.199 Because the reality, I mean, so much research based on modeling and the different types of modeling. 00:05:57.439 --> 00:05:57.680 Absolutely. 00:05:57.920 -->

00:05:59.680 But I get what I get what this guy is saying. 00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:00.160 Right. 00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:05.439 So I almost wonder if there's a way to even expand it of like, oh, the leaves turn red. 00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:06.879 Why do you think they turn red? 00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:11.360 Like making expanding their thought and saying, wow, that was a really valid thought. 00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:11.920 It is yours. 00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:12.639 Tell me more. 00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:13.680 What else do you think? 00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:14.000 Yeah. 00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:16.720 So I think even just like, yep, great, thanks, moving on. 00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:17.920 Because that can feel weird too. 00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:19.519 And almost, I don't know. 00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:25.120 I I wouldn't even know how to begin to implement that in my own house or even with our kids, like our students that we work with. 00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:29.120 But if I paired that, like, okay, Karina, don't try to steal their thought. 00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:33.519 Yes, I do want to confirm, but I don't have to confirm in that way every single time. 00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:34.160 Same right. 00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:34.480 Yes. 00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:42.720 Let them have their own thought and let other kids, if you have other kids at home, obviously, but like let the moment pass so people know you need to be paying attention. 00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:43.199 Exactly. 00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:47.279 Things aren't always going to be retold to you, retold to you, retold that there are gonna be a moment. 00:06:47.439 --> 00:06:47.920 You're gonna miss it. 00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:48.560 Don't miss it. 00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:49.120 Pay attention. 00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:49.439 Right. 00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:50.319 So I like that. 00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:51.120 That's really true. 00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:51.920 Very cool. 00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:52.399 Okay. 00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:56.720 Any tips of like how I mean, obviously, not every book is music related. 00:06:56.959 --> 00:07:06.720 Do you have any thoughts of like how to bring elements of music and music education into books that maybe don't have, you know, um, any kinds of music tied to it? 00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:22.959 Yeah, I think that cadence thing that we talked about earlier, because a lot of students, and I think once they grow up, you know, we all have that one person in our life who says everything like it's a question and it's not, right? 00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:36.079 And so especially when you're speaking to maybe other people who English is not their first language, and you do that at the end of every sentence and you raise your intonation, they might be like, um, is she asking? 00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:38.639 I don't know, you know, it might be confusing to that person. 00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:46.240 So I think definitely the cadence in there and just the students picking up on if there's a comma, you take a

pause. 00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:50.959 If there's a period, you take a breath, if there's an exclamation point, that sounds different than, you know. 00:07:51.199 --> 00:08:04.319 And so I've heard, like, I remember last week we did our fifth grade um graduation ceremony, and one of our students had to read a poem, and it was just like and there was no breathing, no nothing. 00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:07.360 I was like, this doesn't even sound like a poem, you know? 00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:18.720 So I think the cadence is a really big thing for me that I even when I'm reading a non-musical book, if we say I I'm always doing that, um, and the intonation in the voice. 00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:21.600 I think also the animation of the voice, right? 00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:35.360 Um, we know that Denise was so good with those voices and the accents that she used in her videos, but I think it just does something to put the kids like in the story and into really involve them. 00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:45.360 So I think that, you know, just like the changing of the intonation or the accent or whatever in between character to character really makes them be like, you know, really into it. 00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:47.039 It just takes it to another level, you know. 00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:47.759 Yeah. 00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:51.600 Um for those who don't know, Denise, you mentioned Miss McFarland. 00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:55.519 And I know even this year, like we've had a I've had a lot of kids go like, I miss her. 00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:59.120 And I with my son will even do like the author of the book. 00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:05.759 And we'll sing all the things um to help him remember, because again, putting putting music to anything helps it stick better, right? 00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:06.320 Absolutely. 00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:18.000 But yeah, she's uh she has a YouTube channel still up there out there, so I'll make sure to put that in the show notes for anybody who does want somebody who also talks about like my son loves music and all things music. 00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:21.759 I don't know if you're familiar with like Sweet Beats, um, that prodigy's music channel. 00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:24.720 So like they'll use different words and he'll remember them. 00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:32.240 But you know, Miss McFarlane was obviously really great with the other elements to reading a book, like all caps equals loud. 00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:32.480 Yeah. 00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:41.759 So he has gotten, Felix has gotten in the habit of being like partissimo, and so if he needs um caps locks, he'll say louder with oomph. 00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:43.519 Um periods, he'll do rest. 00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:46.799 You know, I don't know if you know the familiar with the song, but it's like beep, beat. 00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:49.279 Uh I forget rest, beat, or whatever he says. 00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:51.759 And so when he sees a period, he's like, that means rest. 00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:52.639 And

he got it. 00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:54.399 Like he didn't quite understand it at first. 00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:56.559 And he was like, that means like like a rested music. 00:09:56.639 --> 00:09:57.759 That's what that period is for. 00:09:58.080 --> 00:09:58.799 Love that connection. 00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:06.320 So for those of you at home who like musical things, he can always use music vocabulary if they're having trouble with punctuate punctuation grammar and things. 00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:15.120 So you have uh now that I'm saying that, do you have any other like music vocabulary like that kind of fits nicely with print literacy? 00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:19.519 Like for us, it's just for TCMO and then like rest, quote unquote, for a period. 00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:20.480 Can you think of it? 00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:23.600 I mean, I'm putting you on the spot, but um an exclamation point. 00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:33.440 Maybe this is not so much elementary because I don't really teach that at this level, but I would say an exclamation point would be like a musical accent because we always say like an an accent is a musical punch. 00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:33.759 Yeah. 00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:38.879 And so it just gives that little, you know, uh increase in volume on that. 00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:54.320 Um I definitely use like crescendo and day crescendo to, you know, if something, you know, we're building up to the climax, maybe we use a day crescendo to make people really like lean in and listen in. 00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:59.679 And then you give them the the resolution and you're maybe crescendo through that. 00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:04.639 So you're getting louder to reveal, you know, the problem being solved or whatever it is, you know. 00:11:04.799 --> 00:11:05.919 So yeah. 00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:06.960 So I love this. 00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:08.879 My brain is literally going bing bing. 00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:17.440 Because like we forget at home like what we do and to help kids connect with what they're learning for their curriculums or their schools, or like that it I mean, illustrations. 00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:18.720 I mean, we haven't I haven't asked Ms. 00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:27.360 Prozek, but like art teacher, even physical movements to things, like well, what do you think that when when he's doing that, when Pete the Cat is doing that? 00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:28.159 Can you show me that? 00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:28.320 Okay. 00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:34.639 Strong core, and I have to tell my son that all the time because he pretty sure you need to see an occupational therapist, maybe even a physical therapist. 00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:34.960 I don't know. 00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:44.399 But I'm always like, we need to work on these things, like whole body, whole person learning, like crescendo, decrescendo, and it's a very abstract concept, but I actually think littles can get it. 00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:48.559 Like I don't wanna I would rather assume competence that they can understand absolutely yeah. 00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:49.679 That's fun. 00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:55.200 Building up to a climax in a story and decrescendo, have like it have them lean in, pay attention. 00:11:55.360 --> 00:11:55.840 Yeah, yeah. 00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:57.120 So fun. 00:11:57.519 --> 00:11:58.159 I love that. 00:11:58.399 --> 00:11:59.120 Anything else? 00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:02.960 I know um partly about the book, but even just like what you're doing with your channel. 00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:06.320 Do you have any other advice for family, friends, parents at home? 00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:11.600 My number one thing that I could tell you to do is just read. 00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:12.080 Yeah. 00:12:12.320 --> 00:12:13.840 Expose them to books. 00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:28.639 Like even if you, as a parent or a teacher are not reading to them, turn on a YouTube channel, turn on a read aloud, do some read, expose them to books, expose them to a lot of books, different genres, different authors, illustrators, all the things. 00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:30.240 Just read with them. 00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:32.320 They will love it, I promise. 00:12:32.639 --> 00:12:36.399 Even though, even if they pretend like they don't, they will love it. 00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:42.159 Because once, you know, once children get to a certain age, they hate everything or they pretend like they do, right? 00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:44.960 Everything is horrible and they don't want to do anything. 00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:48.559 But then at the end of the year, and I ask them, like, what was your favorite thing we did all year?
