Fun Facts About Dr. Seuss • Dr Seuss’S Real Name Was Theodor Seuss Geisel but His Friends and Family Called Him ‘Ted’
Fun Facts about Dr. Seuss • Dr Seuss’s real name was Theodor Seuss Geisel but his friends and family called him ‘Ted’. • Theodor Seuss Geisel was born on 2 March 1904 in Springfield, Massachusetts. • Ted worked as a cartoonist and then in advertising in the 1930s and 1940s but started contributing weekly political cartoons to a magazine called PM as the war approached. • The first book that was both written and illustrated by Theodor Seuss Geisel was And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street. The book was rejected 27 times before being published in 1937. • The Cat in the Hat was written as a result of a 1954 report published in Life magazine about illiteracy among school children. A text-book editor at a publishing company was concerned about the report and commissioned Ted to write a book which would appeal to children learning to read, using only 250 words given to him by the editor. • Ted was fascinated by research into how babies develop in the womb and whether they can hear and respond to the voices of their parents. He was delighted to find that The Cat in the Hat had been chosen by researchers to be read by parents to their babies while the babies were still in utero . • Writing as Dr Seuss, Theodor Seuss Geisel wrote and illustrated 44 children's books. and These books have been translated into more than 15 languages and have sold over 200 million copies around the world.

Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr
Hey Kids, Meet Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr. Seuss) American Cartoonist (1922-2000) Theodor Seuss Geisel was born March 2, 1904 in Springfield, Massachusetts. His father, Theodor Robert Geisel, and grandfather were brewmasters in the city. His mother, Henrietta Seuss Geisel, often put Ted and his sister Marnie to sleep with rhymes she remembered from her childhood. It was his mother that Ted credits for his ability to create rhymes. Ted's memories of his youth in Springfield can be seen throughout his books. Illustrations of Horton along streams in the Jungle of Nool recall the watercourses in Springfield's Forest Park while the truck driven by Sylvester McMonkey McBean in The Sneetches may very well be the tractor that Ted saw on the streets of his hometown. In the fall of 1921 Ted left Springfield to attend Dartmouth College. While there he became editor-in-chief of the Dartmouth College's Jack-O-Lantern humor magazine. Each contribution was signed "Seuss". It was the first time we would use his middle name to identify his work. In an attempt to please his father, Ted went on to Oxford University in England after graduating from Darmouth. While at Oxford he met his wife Helen Palmer. He also discovered that academic studies bored him so he left the university and traveled Europe instead. When Geisel returned to the United States he began to pursue a career as a cartoonist. The Saturday Evening Post published a few of his early cartoons but most of his efforts were devoted to creating advertising campaigns for Standard Oil.

Theodor Seuss Geisel 1904-1991 Author Study Melissa Kaplan
10 Theodor Seuss Geisel 1904-1991 Author Study Melissa Kaplan Education 524 Dr. Jayne DeLawter Sonoma State University Copyright November 14, 1995 Like many children since 1937, Dr. Seuss was a part of my early life with such books as Green Eggs and Ham, The Cat in the Hat, And to Think That! Saw It All on Mulberry Street, Horton Hatches an Egg, stories of the Sneetches, and the east-going Grinch’s memorable confrontation with the west-going Grinch. They were fun books to read, certainly more fun and interesting than the books used at school to teach us to read...Dick and Jane were interesting only for the first several months, after which they were so boring that you knew you would never play with them if they ever came by. Not, perhaps, that you would ever really want to play with the Cat in the Hat. After all, how in the world would you tell your parents what happened if the Cat didn’t put everything right again? I re-read the books and some of the newer ones when my brother, almost four years my junior, was learning to read. By that time I was off into other books and other interests and, while they were colorful and fun, no longer seemed so entertaining. Despite that, however, I can still easily recall drawings from some of my favorite early Seuss stories. Several years ago, a book title in a catalog caught my attention: The Tough Coughs as He Ploughs the Dough. Working as I then was with many people for whom English was a second language, and trying to deal with creative spelling not only inside the office but on correspondence going out to clients, the often seemingly illogical spelling of words was always simmering in my mind somewhere.

The Effects of Dr. Seuss's Books on Elementary School Students' Phonological Awareness and Reading Attitudes
中科大學報第 2 卷第 1 期 2015 年 12 月第 51 至 80 頁 The Effects of Dr. Seuss’s Books on Elementary School Students’ Phonological Awareness and Reading Attitudes Ying-Ching Fu1 Ya-Li Lai2 1Graduate Student, Department of English Instruction, University of Taipei 2Associate Professor, Department of English Instruction, University of Taipei Abstract The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of Dr. Seuss’s books on elementary school students’ phonological awareness and reading attitudes, using both quantitative and qualitative data. The quantitative data was collected from the phonological awareness tests and the reading attitude survey, while the qualitative data was collected through semi-structured interviews with students and teaching journals. Paired-sample t tests were employed to analyze 115 participating students’ pretest and posttest scores. The results reveal that the twelve-week read aloud activities and phonological awareness instruction were found to have statistically significant effects in all the six parts of the phonological awareness test: rhyme awareness, beginning sound awareness, final sound awareness, phoneme blending, phoneme segmentation, and phonemic manipulation. The results of the survey on the students’ English reading attitudes, however, did not show significant improvement. Based on the data from interviews, most of the students liked to read aloud or to be read aloud Dr. Seuss’s books. The findings of this study proved the value of the utilization of Dr. Seuss’s beginner reader books in phonological awareness instruction, where the phonological awareness skills could be developed and enhanced in a reading context and through a series of organized and research-based activities.
