Silicon Valley students record language-learning ‘talking books’
LOS ALTOS, Calif., February 12, 2020 /Los Altos Town Crier/ -- Students at Gardner Bullis School recently got the chance to help record a series of “talking books” aimed at assisting young children in learning another language.
Los Altos resident Michelle Glorieux, whose son is a kindergartner at Gardner Bullis, founded TA-DA! Language Productions, a company creating interactive books to help kids learn languages. When readers touch pictures on the page, they hear the word spoken aloud.
Gardner Bullis students Jan. 29 helped record the English-language version of two books – one about the ocean and the other about camping. Students at other schools throughout the Bay Area recorded versions of the book in other languages.
