06 Harry and Lulu: YTMS Guided Read-Aloud Book Shows How to Read to Kids
You TELL Me Stories has released Harry and Lulu 1.0, the fifth
illustrated book app for iPad in the You TELL Me Stories Library.
Designed to help parents learn and practice the most effective way to
read to children, Harry and Lulu features WordWinks-questions,
comments, and paraphrased vocabulary embedded in red within the text.
While reading Harry and Lulu to their child, parents pause when they
encounter red colored text, and read the question or comment in the
more conversational tone of a parent rather than a narrator. Validated
by educational researchers, the QC technique makes kids active
participants in the reading process: enhancing listening, thinking,
and talking skills.

craze"? Are introverts better suited for tech? Or are limiting
ourselves by insisting on fitting everyone into a box? This week we
look at introverts and extroverts in tech, including the potential
skills gap and how it can be solved.
