"Big Words For Little People"

Is about EMPOWERMENT!

There are rhyming words that are fun to say and the students learn new vocabulary with vivid pictures and

examples.

"Today I Feel Silly & Other Moods That Make My Day"

Is about feelings and moods.

This book has many examples about how children feel in many situations and has colorful pictures which keep them interested.

I really enjoyed both books, we read them in EDRG 3344 in a group activity. After reading both books we wrote a letter to the author. Fun writing activity for students.

Ch.13 Literature Circles
Literature circles gives the students an opportunity to have peer discussions more freely with guidance from the teacher. They can also present their books to the class by making a collage, acting out a part from the book, or singing a song.This in turn may encourage other students to want to read the book. Students can develop their creativity by working in groups.

Ch. 4 Responding to Literature
I believe children respond to books by the way the teacher presents them in class. How you talk about the book makes a big difference. You can them questions like: "I wonder what this book is about?" or do a picture walk, make predictions, or read a passage to make them want to read the book. Presentation is key into motivating them to want to read.

Chapter 14

You can teach the writing process to 3 and 4 year old by allowing them to make their own book.
Have a crate of board books and allow them to choose a book they would like to read. Then the following day have the students make their own book with two pieces of cardboard and some paper. Tell them to think and make a plan about what they would like their book to be about. Have them write a title, draw a picture in the front cover, their name as the author, and then begin writing or drawing their story. This activity can take between one or two weeks depending on how much time you have. The students enjoy this because they are able to create a book and are able to share it with our class.
