Find It in 60 Seconds: Using Kidspod to Bring Free, Safe Podcasts Into Your K–6 Classroom
Description

Research consistently shows that listening is one of the most powerful and underused pathways to building vocabulary, comprehension, and early literacy in young learners, yet finding safe, high-quality audio content for kids has always been harder than it should be. Kidspod changes that. This free app hand-curates over 700 of the best podcasts for ages 3-13 into easy-to-browse categories, so teachers can find curriculum-aligned, age-appropriate content in seconds. Whether you teach reading, science, social studies, or support neurodiverse learners who rely on audio as a primary learning tool, there is something in Kidspod for every classroom. In this session, attendees will explore the app live, discover episodes that connect to their upcoming units, and leave with a free tool they can use on any device starting Monday morning
