Early Reader
Picture Book
A character known as "Sam-I-Am" pesters an unnamed character, who also serves as the story's narrator, to sample a dish of green eggs and ham. The unnamed character refuses, saying, "I do not like green eggs and ham. I do not like them, Sam-I-Am." He continues to refuses as Sam-I-Am follows him around and continues to try to get the unnamed character to eat the dish. This goes on for a while in different places until finally the unnamed character agrees to try to the dish discovering that he does like green eggs and ham. Everyone grew up learning how to read with this book and have heard it a million times before of course I would like to share this book with other students! Dr. Seuss’ work is amazing and life changing my whole childhood is evolved around his books, it would be an honor to spread his words to other young students. His use of rhyming and repetition are perfection.

Reading Level: Primary
Picture Book
This is a primary level rhyming book. The book goes through a list of animals, colors, etc. using all rhyming words. It includes bright pictures for the students to match the explanation being taken place.
This book would be great for early reader to primary and a low intermediate reader. It includes a lot of rhyming words that are fun for the students as well as counting numbers and showing colors. This book would be a great read aloud as the teacher would practice voice changing, counting, and rhyming while the students listen and enjoy.

Pearson UK (n.d.) stated “Evidence suggests that children who read for enjoyment every day not only perform better in reading tests than those who don’t, but also develop a broader vocabulary, increased general knowledge and a better understanding of other cultures. In fact, reading for pleasure is more likely to determine whether a child does well at school than their social or economic background.” This review and comparison consists of two lessons. One lesson presented by Megan Tupper is a comprehension and rhyming lesson that helps children understand the body characteristics and the understanding of what their body characteristics do in the story Eyes, Nose, Fingers, and Toes (Hindley & Granstrm, 1999). Another lesson presented by Nina Deroziere where she used her talent to bridge the gap between music and language arts by reading the story Stand Tall Molly Lou Melon (Lovell & Catrow, 2001).
and illustrated by Eric Carle. Of course, I am much older than the children in my classroom, but I love this book. When Mrs. Kreider, the head teacher, reads this book, I feel like a little kid again. I say the words silently, as not to distract the children, as if the story is being read to me. The illustrations in the book are great because they use the primary colors, which are one of the first things children should learn at a young age. It uses animals that the children are familiar with. Some of the animals are not the colors that the children will witness if they were to see them in real life, but the author portrays them in a playful and rhythmical way. The pictures help the story to come alive. The children get a true visual image of what the author is saying and are in Ah at the same time. When watching the video of this story, I witnessed Eric Carle draw his pictures first, and then use glue and colorful paper cutouts to finish his drawings for this book. He put a lot of time and dedication into his
This book has a similar theme to “Green Eggs and Ham” but contrasting to Dr. Seuss illustration style, Tim Warnes takes a warmer more loving approach to his illustrations. The colors used were more subtle and natural and the soft, pastel colors created more of a calming effect. Mr. Warnes used different shades of brown to create the look of the main character and used size and placement along with color to create the dominant image of the main character in the illustrations. The illustrator also makes great use of the line and color elements to create a mood of compassion, textual imagery in the trees and shrubbery, and to bring personification to the characters. Most of the illustrations were single page however, there were a couple of double spread illustrations used when Mr. Warner wanted to give more understanding to the
Therefore, the poetry reading is vividly portrayed as a school of fish actively and eagerly exploring their aquatic environment. This characterization of the students is a pun because there is an implied play on words between a high school class and a school of fish. Elements of form, sound devices, and poetic devices are essential to achieving this unique depiction of the poetry reading as an exciting and stimulating experience.
as Maybeth, a 3rd grader in Dicey’s Song by Cynthia Voigt did, young and old readers alike will again be struck with the delight and sheer power that picture books
Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss, is perhaps one of the most beloved children’s authors of the twentieth century. Although he is most famous as an author of children’s books, Geisel was also a political cartoonist, advertisement designer, and film director (Kaplan). He used the power of imagination to produce unforgettable children’s books and helped solve the problem of illiteracy among America’s children. By using his experiences in life as a foundation for most of his books, Theodor Geisel created a unique writing style that incorporated various elements and techniques, enabling his books to appeal to people of all ages.
Across the country the first thing people think of when they hear “red fish” is ‘blue fish’. Dr. Seuss was a big part of millions of children’s literary education around the world. What most people do not know however is that Dr. Seuss wasn’t always the successful author we know and love. Dr. Seuss, one of the most successful children’s author of all time, had to overcome multiple rejections to become a multiple award winning writer.
During this literacy model the students will be saying the nursery rhyme. “Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush”. As the teacher, will ask the students to say the rhyme with me two or three times. Once the students are comfortable saying the rhyme, I will have them join hands and move in a circle around a table or object that can be thought
Each time I see the name of a child’s book, I think to myself “what a boring book” but contrary to popular belief there some valuable lessons that can be taught through children’s book. And the same can said about Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin, Jr. & John Archambault. Expect with this book I didn’t know what to expect by just looking at the title. Once I started reading the book with my nephews, I notice how after we were finished reading the book, I notice how they immediately started trying rhyme or, at least, try to rhyme and I joined in with them and turn it into a game to see who could come up with the best rhymes.
This book teaches children to become "word solvers": readers who can take words apart while reading for meaning, and writers who can construct words while writing to communicate. In the book there is a word study that includes systematically planned and applied experiences focusing on the elements of letters and words; writing, including how children use phoneme-grapheme relationships, word patterns, and principles to develop spelling ability; reading, including teaching children how to solve words with the use of phonics and visual-analysis skills as they read for meaning. This is a great book that includes practical information on how to engage in interactive writing and shared reading, how to use a word wall and word sorting, and how to use effective assessment
Mrs. Hamm discussed that she actually uses three different programs to help teach language and literacy to her students. The first program, which is actually her favorite of the three programs, is called “Read Aloud Library”, the second program is called “Language for Learning” and the third program is called “Reading Mastery”. Mrs. Hamm discussed the programs as being very helpful tools in helping children develop their reading skills. Mrs. Hamm integrates literacy in her classroom in many different ways. In the different programs, the students read one book together in which they work on for the week by breaking down the chapters so that children can retell the story and learn th...
Cognitive development in children is crucial, especially between the age six-ten or what is known as middle childhood. During these ages, children are immersed in school and constantly learning new subjects and expanding their experiences. With this, teachers play an important role in coming up with engaging lesson plays that can expand children’s mental lexicon, improve long term memory and also reinforce pragmatic skills. A lesson plan from teachers.org, which can be incorporated into teacher’s curriculum, would be what is known as “Tearing Into Vocabulary”. With this activity, the teacher passes out different colored strips of paper and has the student’s fold the paper into four equal squares and then cut out the squares. Afterword’s, the
Book Center: A variety of books that 1st grade students can read. Some books include David Gets in Trouble by David Shannon; If I Build a Car by Chris Van Dusen; Chicken Said “Cluck!” by Judyann Ackerman Grand; Biscuit’s Big Friend, Biscuit’s New Trick, and Biscuit and the Baby by Alyssa Satin Capucilli; Pete the Cat: Cavecat Pete and Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes by Eric
This dramatic play kit is something different that will enter the center and that is mainly my objective for the children to have something new to play with. Stated in the Early Learning Framework my main objective is to provide a fun and engaging experience to the children while helping the “understand how their own actions may affect nature and the plant (36). This will be done by discussion of what animals live in the water and how everything has a home, and the water is home to many animals. Though fishing is a fun activity, it isn’t our job to take all the fish from their homes forever, practicing catch and release. We can also ask the children how we can keep the water clean for the animals and what is our role in the environment to keep the animals in the
3. Use Rhyming Worksheets. Rhyming worksheets are an excellent way to teach kids to rhyme. As a teacher, I suggest hands-on worksheets because they involve students in the learning process. My students enjoy cutting and pasting. Not only is it a fun way to get students involved, but it's a great way to build fine motor
