I'm happy to introduce one of our primary authors Mary Beth Spann. Mary Beth Spann is a longtime teacher, writer and puppeteer. To date, she has authored dozens of teacher resource books and children's readers for publishers such as Scholastic and Time for Kids. Mary Beth is also a very experienced educator. She is a New York State-Certified N-6 Elementary School Teacher with 14+ years of classroom teaching experience.
Mary Beth is currently authoring a series of early readers for Tapfun. These will be released in the coming months. Below you will see the cover for "Lots of Dots" an early Short O reader.
As is her practice, each of her Tapfun readers begins with an engaging story with characters kids can relate to. According to Mary Beth,"So many early readers sacrifice story for the sake of skills and concepts. That's always a big mistake. It's the story that speaks to the mind and heart of the child, and so the story must come first; attention to skills and concepts can easily springboard from a meaningful story premise."
On behalf of Tapfun, thank you Mary Beth for all your great writing!
