Why listening only? New learning technique - -

Listening isn't "new" - but it's SO old in method that it's considered to be  new to today's generation.  With all the videos, and great variety of  illustrations, a child seldom gets a chance to discover his or her very own self. KIDS STORIES BY SUMU  can prime the pump - so to speak.  Three CDs each has 11 stories.When  children and their parents listen to the stories together, they may have new conversations at the dinner table. When teachers engage their pupils with stories such as Sniffy Poo, the trouble-maker squirrel, a new thought about being good is developed.   Each story is less than three minutes with delightfully delicious sound effects by John  Vogt Productions in Wellsboro, PA.

What's behind all these stories?

. . . dreaming, freeing up imagination, listening to pictures.  I felt like I was sitting on a fence watching all these stories evolve,  when I realized that  they had been incubated in my brain for a long time.  And over many months, I reconnected with a colleague that I once worked with on radio.  John is his name - he was a newscaster and had  his own dj show, and I had my own talk show. Over the years, he became a production professional. His gift for enhancing the stories with sound effects give the stories a magical boost of imagination.
