This coming Tuesday, May 26th at 3pm eastern, I’ll be giving away Big Pig Goes On A Dig from the Usborne Books Phonics Collection to the fifth caller on Blog Talk Radio hosted by children’s author and writer coach, Suzanne Lieurance. Click here for the call-in information you’ll need on the day of the interview.

Written with the aid of a language consultant, this charming read aloud encourages beginning readers to sound out the words as they go, which is an excellent way to helping them develop an important reading skill. The extra appeal of fold-out pages and wonderful Stephen Cartwright illustrations will delight both children and adults. There is also a page of helpful notes for parents. This early reader earned the 2000 Parent Council LTD Award

In addition to the book giveaway, I’ll be emailing all the callers a tip sheet including the five categories of effective reading instruction such as: phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency and text comprehension which are the building blocks for early reading.

Here are a few of some of the things I’ll be sharing in the interview:

1. I’ll be discussing a bit about Usborne Books and what impressed me about it.

2. I’ll take you on a tour of my online bookstore. Click here for the site.

3. I’ll talk about some of the current specials or new books.

4. I’ll let you know how you can get on my mailing you can receive updates about the books.

5. Once a month I’ll be a guest on Book Bites for Kids. I’ll tell you the different kinds of stuff I’ll be sharing every month and other giveaways.

6. I’ll let you know how you can get in touch with me whether you live locally or not and how you can host your own Usborne book party and get your free books.

So that’s it! Hope to speak with you soon!
