Host Karen Ferguson welcomes special guest, Teresa Argenbright to share "Vocabulary building games you can enjoy on the go - screen free!"


Teresa is a children’s book author with a lifelong love of language, rhythm, and storytelling. Her newest book, Charlotte and Penelope and the Neighborhood Stage, is the second in The Menagerie Series, a charming, rhyming picture book series filled with clever wordplay, colorful characters, and heartwarming fun.

Teresa’s background spans everything from advertising copywriting to nonprofit grant writing — and now, writing stories that inspire joy, imagination, and giggles in kids and grownups alike. 

Listen in for practical advice to help grow young readers as Teresa answers the following questions: 

1) Your books use such fun and rich vocabulary — how can parents use everyday moments to introduce new words to kids without it feeling like homework?
2) What are your favorite screen-free vocabulary-building games that families can play on the go — say, in the car, at the grocery store, or on a walk?
3) You mention the importance of laughter — how can humor, rhyme, and silliness play a role in both vocabulary development and bonding with children?
4) What advice do you have for parents or grandparents who want to help foster a love of reading, even if the kids are reluctant or tech-obsessed?
5) What’s next for Charlotte, Penelope, and the rest of the Menagerie? Can readers expect more rhymes and adventures ahead in your book series?
