For paradigm: The child observes the pictures from the story to get a fine clue, “I believe the word munching rhymes with crunching because the ending sounds the same. In following this presents children the opportunity, to observe the skillful strategies, utilized to require adaptable thinking skills, not a repetition of memory. Another positive aspect of creating a group time around the story, the teacher and students should reexamine their prior prospects and see “how ” adjacent everyone’s thoughts were. The teacher should ask questions such…
Teaching Strategies: Read the story “The Foot Book” to the children every day for a week. On the first day read the story in its entirety, afterward ask the children open-ended questions about the story. On the second day re-read the story in its entirety, when you finish show the children the pictures and have them retell the story based on the pictures they see. On the third day read a few sentences then stop and have the kids tell the next few sentences, taking turns between the teacher and the children. On the fourth day the teacher reads a word or two then stops allowing the kids to finish the sentence, alternating again between teacher and students. On the fifth day the teacher is to only turn the pages as the students tell the story.…
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…
The teacher can invite students to anticipate the storyline, then read the story to the students, stopping at significant points to ask for predictions of the story. Another method would be to ask students to restate the story from examining the pictures. Covering word parts with sticky notes and asking the children to predict what word is under the sticky note can also help students with language deficiencies (Tankersley, 2016).…
While writing this literacy narrative I felt confident that I would be able to complete the task as a book has very well effected my life. However, I did have some trouble starting the essay, which in every essay I have similar issues with, but once I get the hang of things I immediately adjust to the flow and keep writing. Deciding on the book that affected me the most was difficult to choose, as I had so many. Eventually I decided to write about the first time I became fully engulfed in a book. Choosing the novel Animal Farm was the perfect novel to chose as it is my favorite and most inspiring novel I ever read. The only thing I worried about, was that when writing this essay, I didn’t want to spoil the novel for whom ever reads my essay.…
It is amazing how Miss Ferenczi captures the kids ' interest, make them focus to a point that "no one even went to the bathroom." With their old teacher Mr. Hibler, the students would chatter and whisper during the lecture, but with Miss Ferenczi they sit still and are fascinated with her lecturing. They are astounded at a plant that can kill animals, they are eager to discuss whether a half bird and half lion monster is real. They go home excitedly and dig up the dictionary to find out and feel "fabulous" to discover a new myth. She creates an "information hunger" in the children to explore, to discover new things that most teachers can hardly ever…

Over spring break, I had the privilege of observing my mother’s kindergarten class for a morning. They were beginning a discussion about Spring and what the change of seasons brings. To work in conjunction with this idea, I took one student and read them The Runaway Bunny by Margaret Wise Brown. Having previously discussed with my mother, I read with a child who had yet to experience this book, allowing for a more authentic reaction from the child. To set up this experience I really wanted to read the story and then receive child feedback and gain their understanding of the story. Doing this allowed for less conversation within the reading to occur and more student concentration.…
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…
