Big Thanks to Barbara Mascareno
I want to give a huge shoutout to Barbara Mascareno for including me in her Spanish4Kiddos Virtual Dive into Summer Reading Camp! Creating a kids' read-along video for this project was such a fun, challenging, and rewarding experience. You can check out the video here.

Meet the Brains Behind Spanish4Kiddos Educational Services, LLC
Barbara Mascareno is the genius behind Spanish4Kids Educational Services, LLC. Her awesome organization is all about jazzing up the K-12 education scene with cool English and Spanish digital products, making classroom learning a blast. Let’s be real, learning through play is where the fun’s at!
 
Creating the Read-Along Video
Making the read-along video was an exciting new skill to learn. I wanted something more polished than just a video of me reading in front of the camera, so I decided to use Canva. Discovering that I could add my own audio was a game-changer. I recorded my voice and synced it with the book’s pages, adding a personal touch that I hope the kids will enjoy, even if I do sound a bit weird.
 
Adding Transitions
One of the best discoveries was figuring out how to make transitions between the pages in Canva. It gave the video a smooth and professional feel. Playing around with different effects and finding the perfect transition for each scene was like piecing together a puzzle. Each piece had to fit just right to keep the flow engaging and exciting for the little viewers.
 
Dive into More Summer Reads
Barbara’s YouTube channel is buzzing with more books that will be showcased as summer unfolds. I highly recommend checking them out. You can find a variety of engaging and educational content that will keep the kids entertained and learning all summer long.
