hörbert-Tip: individual stories from the reading whale and Swiss podcast “THEO tells” for children

Bring your voice as an audio drama into the children's room

Reading studies show – reading aloud is the fundamental building block for good reading skills – which is a prerequisite for everything that comes during and after school.

This promotes cognitive abilities and emotional as well as social competencies. The vocabulary grows, children can concentrate better, they expand their imagination, and creativity is also fostered. Through stories, children learn to empathize with others (empathy). Some scientists even believe that children who are read to a lot learn to read and write more easily. Digital media can often be a tool when there isn’t enough time to read aloud.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have an audio play read by your own grandmother?

Theo tells a story - Swiss children's podcast

Our children's podcast recommendation: "THEO erzählt," the first children's podcast from Switzerland

What does a Swiss family with three small children do during lockdown, when mom is a primary school teacher and dad is a moderator and podcaster? A podcast for children, with simple assignments or games.

The youngest podcaster in Switzerland was born – Theo is 6 years old, loves to talk and is excited to share his knowledge on certain topics with other children and families. In conversation with his father Gianfranco Salis, moderator and pioneer of the Swiss podcast scene, he shares exciting, curious and interesting facts from the animal world.

Captivating stories with animal knowledge from child to child – for the ears. With assignments or games as PDFs matching the topic. An adventure and a change not only for Swiss children.

Sharing experiences, sparking imagination, and evoking children’s pictures. In Theo’s podcast, the topic and audience both take center stage. The Salis family wants to let listeners participate in the interesting conversations with Theo, convinced that “sharing” works over the ears even in times of social distancing and can be beautiful, bring joy, and bring some light and hope into the home in a literal and figurative sense.

With their family project, the Salis family wants to bring other children and families some variety and encouragement.
