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 …show more content…
to you! (Baby to preschool) --Emilie Coulter
I select this book due to how this book informing multiple intelligence approach to each different learning children when it comes to learning and seeing a new letter. It well informs about each letter pronunciation and what can each letter mean. Kids love this book! It is easy to memorize and they can follow the reader and “read” with adult even though they cannot read yet by recognition the letters in this book. The pictures are well associated with wording and form and enrich the vocabulary of children, which plays a big role in the development of the speech of a child of any age.
And activity teacher may do while reading this book is to hang up the Alphabet letter in the classroom by child’s level. You can also invent new words for letters of the alphabet, search for items that begin with such letters in the room or at the outdoor time, art projects. Organize the day of a specific letter and highlight words that begin with this letter or are in words and enter new words for the kids vocabulary.
Modern technologies allow teachers to use a variety of activities. For example, after reading during a circle time, as an option for repetition, you can show the video from YouTube. https://youtu.be/6WcGPFIKECw and so on.
2nd book: Family = La familia, illustrated by Clare Beaton.
• Age Range: 2 - 5 years
• Grade Level: Preschool - Kindergarten
• Series: Bilingual First Books/English-Spanish
The reason why I believe this book will help children in their literacy and language development is: the book is written in two languages; Spanish and English.
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
other.
As an activity during the reading of Family/ La Familia, children can listen and hold (view) their family photos, or the teacher can ask to find family members using family photos that are already hung up in the classroom environment. This book is part of a series of bilingual books with different themes, which allows gradually and noticeably expanded the child's vocabulary.
