The Furry Tutor: Funny, 3-Step Audiobook Literacy - 6 Silly Stories About Apples




The Furry Tutor


Baroony: The Furry Tutor presents 1st Grade Apple Adventures! This is a professionally produced but fun, 3-step audiobook based, Listening-Reading-Writing Six Story Pack! Baroony is Scooby Doo meets Marley the dog meets Paddington Bear, all rolled into one.

Looking for a new, fun way to not only improve literacy through multiple styles of learning, but also inspire passionate, young readers? Look no further! Kids LOVE Baroony the Bear!

Six original stories are included in this bundle.

Each story includes a YouTube link to my audio-video file which narrates the story 3 times, a just-audio MP3, and the same audio-video file for offline use. Pick the easiest route for your teaching style without the hassle.

They can be heard/watched as a whole class, used as a listening station that also incorporates reading and writing, Daily 5, or even sent home for extra practice.

This awesome, six story pack includes all of the worksheets, audio, and video files organized neatly into separate folders, OR a print ready PDF with all of the stories combined.

It also includes Teacher bonuses: Baroony's Apple KWL, an extended educator license, Baroony classroom posters, and more!




It's SIMPLE! HEAR IT! RAWR IT! PAW IT!

First students listen to the audiobook version 3x, next they RAWR It (not just robot-read it) 3x, then they PAW the story on a traceable handwriting section.

All on one easy print page!

My method of building top-notch literacy skills revolves around enthusiastic repetition with the use of short passages of text for automaticity and fluency.

Stories focus heavily on high frequency and sight words for 1st graders, are written in rhyme, and introduce alliteration.

Great for struggling readers with the various learning disabilities who learn differently than other students.

All these silly stories are written and narrated by myself, and Baroony Bear: The Furry Tutor! I'll be the extra voice in your busy classroom helping with literacy skills.

Baroony is the ONLY Reading Bear on all of TPT. These silly, apple adventures surround the antics of this wacky yet adorable bear, just on time for fall's apple lessons!


You can also download a free sample and purchase the stories individually on Teachers Pay Teachers.

'Guided Reading Activities (For Individuals and Groups)' by Innovative Teaching Ideas


Product Description:

This pack includes 70 self directed tasks for students to complete during reading / literacy time in your classroom either independently or in groups.

Just add a leveled reader or visual text. All of these tasks can be applied to any text being read either at home or in the classroom.

Each task has clear instructions aimed at students from grades 2 - 6 which have fun but educational activities that can be completed in around a 40 minute time frame. But there is enough tasks here to keep your reading groups going for a year. Believe me I have been using these for years.

The idea is that you would laminate these and stick them in a space that students can access during literacy sessions.

This allows you to move around your room and work with other students knowing that students working on these tasks have a worthwhile task to be completed.

As I indicated earlier all tasks are 'evergreen' meaning that they can be applied to any text you are working through.

Note that this book was revised in March 2015 and has now doubled in content.

Available at

Why just teach when you can inspire and innovate!

Why Books Are an Important Part of Childhood by Evelyn Gresham

Children's author Evelyn Gresham has an education degree, a soft spot for children, and now writes books for young ones. Here are her thoughts on why books are so important in childhood:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Since this is the generation of technology, I feel books are even more important to keep alive with our children. There is nothing like holding a book in your hand as your child lies in bed and listens to you read to them. First, it gives you a chance to bond with your child and second, it is a memory your child will never forget. Many people that I talk to state, that they cherish that time they had with their parents, when they read to them. We must keep those moments alive and we must teach our children to love books and preschool children are the ones to start with. In my humble opinion, it should start while you’re pregnant and should continue as a family tradition.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Since childhood author Evelyn Gresham has always had a desire for writing and poetry, but kept it as a hobby. She graduated from Ashford University and received her master’s degree in education and child development. Aside from “Sweet, Sweet Carabee”, Evelyn has also authored the book “Brown Little Babies.” For over twenty years Evelyn has worked as a nursing assistant, but always had a passion for children. Ms. Gresham currently resides in the Midwest and enjoys traveling and illustrating in her spare time.

'Reading Together: Everything You Need to Know to Raise a Child Who Loves to Read' Book Review

One of the most important things that parents can do for their children is to establish a love for reading from the very beginning. Reading Together: Everything You Need to Know to Raise a Child Who Loves to Read by Diane W. Frankenstein is a great foundational point for this.

In the introduction to this book, Diane outlines ways for parents to help their children find appropriate books to read, to turn them on to reading. Many times, the child's lack of desire to read simply stems from an inability to find anything that really turns them on and encourages them to keep on reading. She encourages rereading stories, focusing on the plotlines instead of only vocabulary, and performing conversational reading.

Conversational reading is the art of reading a book together and talking about it. Start by asking concrete questions about what happened within the story. Then, find ways to apply the book to the child's personal circumstances, so that he can really put himself into it. Encourage the child to think about other perspectives of the story. The possibilities are endless!

The first part of the book consists of 101 different books that parents and teachers can share with children. Within this part are three different sections. One is for picture books, one for grades 2-5, and those for grades 4-6+. Each book has a short story synopsis, key words, and sample questions that can be used to elicit conversation with the child. Then, there are recommended follow-up titles, if this one was of particular interest to the child.

Part two gets into subject questions, which are even more ways adults can deepen the conversation with the child. Instead of focusing on a particular book, these parts focus on general topics, such as popularity, bullies, manners, choices, and challenges.

Finally, Diane provides even more recommendations for books. Trying to choose only 101 when there are so many good books out there is a daunting task, indeed!

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest review.

Purchase in paperback.
