This week’s Color & Read is live! Head to YouTube to join the fun and download your free printable.
At Miss Honey Bear, slow-paced, interactive read-alouds aren’t just entertaining — they’re designed with intention. As a pediatric speech-language pathologist, I create videos that mimic the natural rhythm of high-quality parent-child reading time. With repetition, simplified language, and visual engagement, these videos help support language development in young children — especially those who benefit from a calmer, more intentional pace.
Whether you’re a busy parent or need a few minutes to recharge, these read-alouds are a guilt-free screen time option. Why? Because they’re rooted in evidence-based practices known to support early communication, vocabulary growth, joint attention, and narrative skills — the foundational blocks for strong language and literacy.

Work Together?
Each week, Miss Honey Bear shares a special Color & Read video — a calm, interactive storytime where children listen, watch, and color along. These videos are designed to support speech and language development through repetition, simplified language, and hands-on participation.
As we read together, your child can follow along with a free printable coloring page that matches the story. For example, during The Very Hungry Caterpillar, we color a caterpillar, apple, butterfly, and more as each one appears in the book — encouraging language, focus, and joyful participation in a screen-time-friendly way.
Color & Read videos premiere every week. Watch the latest episode and grab your free printable in the YouTube description of each video!
