Dr. Seuss's ABC: An Amazing Alphabet Book
Book Reflection
1st book: Dr. Seuss's ABC: An Amazing Alphabet Book!
• Age Range: 2 - 3 years
• Grade Level: Preschool and up

Children’s age for this book may vary. Two- five years old would be appropriate to is. At this age, many children learn singing ABC but not seeing it in literacy wise. I believe it is essential for this age to not only know the A B C’s by hearing but by having visual literacy such as this book so the children would learn their A B C; s by know how the letters look and what each letter stands for.

" The youngest readers-to-be will get lots of letter practice with the repetitive use of each letter and the easy-to-memorize rhythmic rhymes. Soon your favorite preschooler will be reading this book aloud

This book provides the child new words, which build up children's everyday vocabulary and teach child who is how called in a family. I like the clear pictures, illustrated by Clare Beaton, they help understand and memorize to what the words are talking about.

Cuddly, colorful teddy bears teach new words to very young children-and they do it in two languages! Six titles give toddlers an early start in learning a foreign language at the same time that they are learning their own. The left-hand page gives picture-caption word in English and the right-hand page gives the Spanish equivalent.

I selected this book because bilingual children speak Spanish at home but English at school, and books like this are important connections/bridge between family culture and school. Reading of this book will develop language transitioning skill in the mind when as the child see and hears two languages at once. The child will memorize how to pronounce one word in two different languages and will be able to transition well between each

    “Animal Alphabet” by Ale Lluch is used to teach the Alphabet both capitalized and lowercased letters, reading, spelling, pronunciation, and associating words with their meaning. It includes animals in the book to associate letters with specific animals and how these animals are pronounced. The book has thick cardboard pages which uses sliding pieces. On the top of the moving peace it displays both upper and lowercase letters of a specific letter in the alphabet. When you move the piece to the left it reveals an animal associated with that letter as well as the spelling of it. The artist used a fun technique that allows the children to be directly involved with the book by allowing them to slide the piece back and forth. They see the letters in the alphabet and then the book shows them how letters associate with the sound of animal types. For example it has the letter B, b and then the child slides the piece and it displays a picture of a bear with how the word bear is spelled. The person reading the book to the child would pronounce the B sound and then say the word bear. My daughter is 3 years old and she can recognize letters and…

    For Preschoolers 3-5 years of age, I would use pictures from the book to help children see and associate the actual name with the feeling. I would help them understand the explicit theme of this book is that feelings are neither good nor bad, they just are. Feeling need to be communicated and have names that you can learn to express the way you feel.…

    As children grow, it is important to find materials that correspond to their growth in multiple areas in order to strengthen and further their development. Perhaps one of the best tools for accomplishing this task is books, which can be used to strengthen a child’s cognition, language, and understanding of the world around them. One such example is A Wonderful Wind from Disney’s “Out & About with Pooh: A Grow and Learn Library.” This book was written by Ann Braybrooks and demonstrates how a book, when written with appropriate developmental steps in mind, can be an excellent tool for helping children ages five to seven learn and develop in the physical, cognitive, social, and emotional domains. Before one even begins reading the story, the…

    In my opinion bilingualism plays a major role in the educational development of children. This is because research has shown that children who are fluent in their home language are more successful in learning a second language. Furthermore, being bilingual offers greater sensitivity to language, more flexibility in thinking and better ear for listening. It also improves a child’s understanding for the native language. Moreover, knowledge of other languages increases a career of opportunities offering several job options.…

    As the book progresses the main characters determination has started to pay off. Lady Constance was somewhat pleased when Penlope told her the children”…have learned the words for many common items, such as ball, doily and so forth” (70). Lady Constance is seeing improvements in the children because of Penlopes’ work toward the kids. If it wasn’t for Penlope’s interest in the kids there would be no improvement in their education. The kids not know enough words to be creative and recite a poem that goes, “Moon, moon, moon. Night, no moon? Dark. Night, yes moon? Light! Yes, moon! Ahwooooo” (92). Penlope is thrilled to know that the poetry she…

    Reading this book, children can get involved in the story. It is easy to read, to understand. It has simple, short sentences which are understandable by 3 years olds as they already can talk in complete 3-5 words sentences. The text is repeating itself: “So they sent me a…” is just like a rhyme, and it makes the story enjoyable, interesting. By the third page, children usually are repeating the words.…

    These bilingual classroom materials are beneficial because they promote metalinguistic awareness while also serving “…to demonstrate the value of other languages, to make connections with the community and family, to strengthen the cultural identity of ELLs and to honor their families” (Cloud, Genesse, & Hamayan, 2009, p. 102). These materials are intended for a lower level English and German bilingual elementary classroom. I have chosen bilingual children’s books at different reading levels in an attempt to include students of varying literacy levels. I have made sure to include some books that were originally written in English and some that were originally written in German. A student can read a book in his/her stronger language first in order to get an understanding of the text before reading it in the other language.…

    “I consider that stories helped me to facilitate the learning of a foreign language because they were presented taking into account students' background knowledge with the integration of basic vocabulary”. In other words, the bilingual educator states that the participant children learned effortlessly given that the stories the educator utilized contained children's familiar scenes, characters and objects that enable the basic target language vocabulary representation process to occur in an easier manner. Nonetheless, the educator emphasizes by stating that stories “were short, colorful and easy to understand” that in order for storytelling to be effective, the tale needs to be short, meaning brief, and adjusted to children's attention span. In addition, the educator suggests stories with colorful illustrations so they could catch children's attention, and they should also be easy to understand, in other words they need to be customized to their proficiency level to facilitate comprehension. Ellis and Brewster (2014) agrees with the bilingual pre-service educator about the fact that stories, more than any other teaching strategy, are an enchanting way to catch children's attention which guarantee positive outcomes in their language acquisition; nonetheless, they can lose its effectiveness if the stories do not fit learner's attention span and their proficiency level. Hence, it is crucial for bilingual educators to adapt stories to ensure young learners'…

    Aims: The aim of this assignment is to demonstrate and plan a story to read to a group of children aged 2 and half to 4. I chose this age group because this is the group I work with on a daily bases from 9:30 to 12:30 five days a week. I am picking a story called “Oh Dear” by Rod Campbell who is a Scottish writer and illustrator of several popular children's books including the classic lift-the-flap board book “Dear Zoo”. As it is a story that helps the children with learning the different animals on the farm and also encourages the children to use their imaginations as they lift up the different flaps in the book to see what is behind them. Which Maria Montessori says “Imaginative teaching materials are the heart of the process”. All of Rod Campbell’s “books have simple text often with repeating phrases which is ideal for pre-readers” and will also Help the children with langue and intellectual skills. “The child proceeds at his own pace in an environment controlled to provide means of learning” -Maria Montessori. this book also helps the children physically as they have to get up to lift up the flaps on the book “movement is therefore the essential of life education cannot be conceived of ad a means to moderate or worse to inhibit movement; it should only function as an aid to a better expenditure of energy whilst allowing it to develop normally” -Maria Montessori pg 102 discovery of a child. “The aim of the children who persevere in their work with an object is certainly not to “learn”; they are drawn to it by the needs of their inner life, which must be recognized and developed by its means.” – Maria Montessori pg 120 discovery of a child. To develop their attention spans…
