SHOUT OUT TO ALL THE TEACHERS going into another week of online teaching. I have a podcast called ‘Bedtime Stories with R.A. Spratt’. It’s free and available through Spotify, all the podcast directories and you can stream it through my website raspratt.com This isn’t a sales pitch. I don’t make any money from the podcast. I just know that this year has been really stressful for everybody including kids. We had a lot of tears in our house during learning from home. The podcast is just silly stories written to bring some fun and giggles to kids. There are now 75 episodes. If you did want to make it a springboard for a lesson, there are many fractured fairytales, you could get you students to have a listen then write one of their own. Good luck out there.
