1Why I wrote North American Martyrs Kids Activity Book (plus a sneak peak inside!)Author Bonnie Way talks about the inspiration behind writing her first nonfiction kids book, North American Martyrs Kids Activity Book. This book teaches children ages 7 to 12ish about the eight North American Martyrs: St. Isaac Jogues, St. Rene Goupil, St. Jean de Lalande, St. Gabriel Lalemant, St. Jean de Brebeuf, St. Antoine Daniel, St. Noel Chabanel and St. Charles Garnier.

2Speech Blubs App Can Help Your Child Speak Better {app review}This is a sponsored video brought to you by Speech Blub, an app for children ages 1 to 8 that helps them improve their speaking skills. 4-year-old Pearl and 2-year-old Joey help me demonstrate the features of this app. Joey is currently learning to speak and Pearl has a lot of words but says some sounds incorrectly (like her L's and R's). Both enjoy playing on the app and seeing other kids say words carefully and correctly. Speech Blubs is easy to download onto your tablet or device from your favourite app store. You can get a 7-day free trail before subscribing for an annual or a monthly fee. Once you’ve downloaded the app, you can complete a 3-minute speech assessment for your child. I found this assessment very helpful for Pearl, as it helped me realize what language skills she's good at and what she needs to work on. For more about the Speech Blubs app, read my blog review at https://thekoalamom.com/2020/04/improve-childs-language-skills-speech-blubs/.
