@SLOTUS Support PBS, Sesame Street, Electric Company, and many other educational children series.

@SLOTUS "Story time" mixed with propaganda war videos of blowing people up. Great account.

@SLOTUS What book would you write for these kids ?

@SLOTUS Gavin Newsom must be so jealous of Ushaโs reading abilities.

@SLOTUS There are approximately 14 million children in America struggling with hunger. Why donโt you do something about that?!

@SLOTUS Using the damn White House page to promote podcast? If Joe Biden did this Fox News would be talking about 24/7 for 3 weeks straight and then go back to protecting elite pedophiles.

@SLOTUS This is a great thing for our youth. What an upgrade at SLOTUS. Thank you Usha Vance!

@SLOTUS Great idea! Glad she took inspiration from Michelle!

@SLOTUS Any program designed to encourage/teach kids to read is a great idea ๐๐๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ

@SLOTUS I would feel much safer with drag queens reading to my kids than.... this.

@SLOTUS So like Michelle Obama or like Jasleen Singh? ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ Midterms will be fun ๐๐๐๐

@SLOTUS As much as I want to appreciate this effort, I cannot get over the fact that this same government is waging war and terrorizing civilians aboraoad. Itโs ironic.

@SLOTUS She is literally indian

@SLOTUS Encouraging kids to read early is one of the best investments any society can make. Great initiative. ๐

@SLOTUS TOTAL BS you NAZIS already banned books and cut funding for the Education Dept. GOP (Guardians Of Pedophiles) motto: Keep them poor and uneducated.

This is a wonderful initiativeโreading aloud to children builds vocabulary, background knowledge, and a lifelong love of stories. โค๏ธ But reading to children does not teach most kids how to read, especially those with dyslexia or other learning differences. Learning to read is not a natural process like speaking; it requires explicit, systematic instruction in phonics and the foundational skills backed by the Science of Reading. I hope @SLOTUS will invite cognitive neuroscientists and reading researchers onto the podcast to discuss why America's educator preparation programsโin both public and private colleges of educationโurgently need overhaul. Future teachers must receive rigorous, evidence-based training and proper credentialing in the science of reading and learning so every child gets the instruction they need to succeed. @POTUS @realDonaldTrump @VP @JDVance @EDSecMcMahon @Linda_McMahon @Robert_Aderholt @RepWalberg @SenBillCassidy

@SLOTUS @storyaliz was built in greater Cincinnati, for exactly this purpose. Launching next month!

@SLOTUS The Pedophile's Administration has ripped funding away from countless public libraries & is destroying the Department of Education and in return we get...a podcast?

@SLOTUS This is an amazing program, and Iโm sure it will do great things. As a former teacher, children who are read to at home daily during at least the first 6 years of their life are more likely to sustain a higher literacy rate than those children who are not.

@SLOTUS Storytime for kids after bombing them in Arabian Nights ๐๐ซ

@SLOTUS May we send the First Lady some of our books?

we all want kids to read, but they need a functioning country first. ๐๐คก how can we focus on "storytime" when the fbi director is getting hacked and tsa officers at reagan aren't even getting paid? market is at 15 extreme fear and y'all are out here promoting podcasts. priorities are completely upside down in dc. stop the cap and fix the actual security crisis before our 401ks hit zero. ๐๏ธ๐๏ธ #Storytime #MarketCrash #DHSshutdown #Accountability

@SLOTUS LMAOOOOOOOOO

@SLOTUS lol having some brown immigrant teach kids "literacy" ๐คฃ "Please saar"

@SLOTUS I guess bombing schools is certainly one solution to child literacy

@SLOTUS Such a great idea and wonderful way to help children learn. Thank you, @SLOTUS ๐บ๐ธ๐๐๐

@SLOTUS Let's go!!!!! Read to your kids ๐

@SLOTUS I really want to be a โspecial readerโ!

@SLOTUS The answer is very simple: phonics. Find a complete, free reading course, in pdf format, for your child at the URL below. Any child can learn to read fluently in a matter of a few months:

@SLOTUS

@SLOTUS Imagine the smell.

@SLOTUS Is that because nobody understands FLOTUS? So now Usha has to do her job?

@SLOTUS Why not trump supporters how to read and write? Most are uneducated and poor.

@SLOTUS A lasting fix will need more than a podcast, with consistent funding for school libraries and teacher training. When families see books at home and in classrooms, the habit sticks.
