Lori Guimond, a speech and language pathologist at the Vanderbilt Bill Wilkerson Center, states:
“When we saw these, we were really excited because the kids get to see themselves involved in the story. It’s so much easier to teach a child with autism or developmental delay if you can use a picture that helps them relate to the story.”
Bobbie Beckmann, a leading speech-language pathologist practicing in Tennessee, states:
“ImagiTales is the most exciting development in children’s learning that I’ve seen in the last 20 years. Children are completely drawn in by seeing themselves in each story, and keeping a child engaged is the key. We are using ImagiTales to improve literacy and self-esteem.”
Jeanne McGehee, Literacy Coordinator-Read to Succeed at Fannie Battle Day Home, Nashville, Tennessee, states:
“The ImagiTales team is great to work with. Their website is user-friendly and they are available to answer any question. The children are so pleased to have their own personal book with their very own picture and name. These books will be read over and over again and will be treasured. Because the books are leveled, they certainly fit each individual child and the titles can be chosen to match many needs and interests. What a great resource!”
Sarah Colburn, Teacher, Four Star Academy, Athens, TN, states:
I am a teacher at Four Star, and we have used the books as gifts to encourage reading at home. We have also shared the books together with the students in class. The students seem to love seeing themselves and most of the titles are age-appropriate, although some of them are too young for our children.
We love that some of the books contain repetitive text, to encourage the children to read along. We would like to have more titles to choose from!! (Maybe one about going to school? Plus, all of our children really LOVE the animal books..nature things and on the farm… they are always interested in dinosaurs and ocean animals if you were wanting suggestions for new titles.)
We really love ImagiTales and will hopefully use them for years to come with our students. Thank you for your great product!
