This story time is dedicated to helping your child prepare to see the doctor, dentist, and eye doctor. being examined by medical professionals may be something your child doesn't enjoy but these books help alleviate the trepidation your child might have in visiting a doctor. When Arthur has difficulty seeing, his parents take him to see an optometrist and he gets his first pair of glasses; Little Critter bravely goes to the dentist and gets a cavity filled; and Brother and Sister Bear go to the doctor for a check up.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have been an instructional aide in an all-day kindergarten class for the past 13 years and the best part of my job is reading to the students. Studies have shown reading aloud to children improves listening skills, helps in language development, expands vocabulary, increases attention span, inspires creativity, encourages a love of reading, teaches life lessons, helps with social and emotional development, and actually raises a child's I.Q. by over six points! It's also a fun way to introduce phonics and the alphabet to preschoolers.
With a background in theater, I don't just read words to children, I entertain them as well. Using different voices for characters, and facial expressions to emphasize points, I've often looked out over a sea of young faces to see them more engaged in watching me than they are in looking at the story's pictures.
I realize finding time to read to your child can be a challenge so why not let me read to them and keep them entertained as well? It is my hope that my story time will help you as much as it will your child.
I am the mother of three adult boys and the grandmother of one 10-year-old boy. To this day, my sons tell me some of their best growing-up memories are of me reading to them. How wonderful it would be to have your child think the same thing when they're grown. Imagine hearing them say, "I remember listening to stories a silly old lady would read to me over the computer. That was so fun!"
