The royal road to getting your kids to excel in school. Forget the Baby Mozart.
We know only that the classics, from Aesop to Shakespeare, from Greek mythology to King Arthur through Dickens and Dumas, were often ignored or presented in a way that radically changed the original stories. We knew from experience, however, that a story well told would ignite a love of learning in a listener. Our goal then, as now, was to instill in children the lifelong love of great literature by telling the stories on a child's level without altering the authors' intent.
The speakers are Randy and Jim Weiss. You want your kids to excel in school? Teach them to listen, and remember what they have heard. Forget the DVD player for every kid. Have the whole family listen to exciting stories! From Greathall Productions (http://www.greathall.com/).
I was reminded of them by another happy find, Melissay Wiley's blog , who is a mother and children's book author.
