Controlled Vocabulary/Beginning-To-Read Books Children's Book and Media Review Volume 6 Issue 3 Article 2 1985 Controlled Vocabulary/Beginning-to-Read Books Katie Blake Follow this and additional works at: https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/cbmr BYU ScholarsArchive Citation Blake, Katie (1985) "Controlled Vocabulary/Beginning-to-Read Books," Children's Book and Media Review: Vol. 6 : Iss. 3 , Article 2. Available at: https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/cbmr/vol6/iss3/2 This Article is brought to you for free and open access by the Journals at BYU ScholarsArchive. It has been accepted for inclusion in Children's Book and Media Review by an authorized editor of BYU ScholarsArchive. For more information, please contact [email protected], [email protected]. i Blake: Controlled Vocabulary/Beginning-to-Read Books CHILDREN'S BOOK REVIEW Controlled Vocabulary/Beginning -to-Read Books by Katie Blake Books that beginning readers can read on their own are called "Beginning-To-Read", or "Easy-To-Read"; or, depending on the publisher, "I Can Read," "Beginner Books," and "Early Start," etc. These books combine the controlled vocabulary of the basal reader with the livelier imagination of creative storytelling. Some have been around for years: Edna Aldredge's The Timbertoes was written in 1932 and is popular today. The Country Bunny and the Lillie Gold Shoes (Heyward) is suitable for beginners as is parts of Kate Greenaway's Under the Window. Elizabeth Gulfoile's Nobody Listens to Andrew is a delightful 50's controlled vocabulary. The Dolch Books have used the formula a long time, but they were developed originally for "reluctant readers" and were not usually original stories. Cowboy Sam, the Button books, and those like them, were written primarily for school resource programs. They were really basal readers with a little bit more zing. The real pioneers in the controlled vocabulary explosion were a cartoonist with an off-center sense of humor and a first grade teacher with an idea. Dr. Seuss and Else Holmelund Minarik. The Cat in the Hat came out in 1957, and the even easier, Hop on Pop, debuted 1962. Dr. Seuss, somewhat known for his picture books, became a household word, and Random House's zany beginner books were in every middle class American child's home. At about that time a first grade teacher, Else Minarik, walked into Harper with four small books. She convinced the editors of the need for controlled vocabulary books with a "real" plot. An up and coming but relatively unknown artist was assigned to illustrate them. That joint effort gave birth to the loveable Lillie Bear and his problems, started the hugely successful Harper "I Can Read" series which now has several hundred titles, and featured a soon to be famous illustrator, Maurice Sendak. Lillie Bear's Visit became a Caldecott Honor Book. Those two enterprises were timely financial boons to Random and Harper, and since that time have been imitated by most of the publishing houses. Perhaps the most satisfying books in the genre were published by Harper and written and illustrated by Arnold Lobel. His Frog and Published by BYU ScholarsArchive, 1985 1 • Children's Book and Media Review, Vol. 6 [1985], Iss. 3, Art. 2 BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY Toad Are Friends (1970) was a Calclecott Honor Book. Two Years Later, Frog and Toad Together became a Newbery Honor Book. These two marvelous creatures reveal the human frailties we all know. They are super-organized list makers, compulsive gardeners (and eaters), forgetful losers of buttons, and not at their best in bathing suits. And everyone loves them! The real problem with most of the beginner books is--they're too hard! Most are for late fIrst grade and second grade. A few companies have "Early I Can Reads" or something similar. Those books are the most requested by parents, because parents want to "begin" their child reading. First word, second word, etc. Follett's Margaret Hillen does a fIne job with her books for earliest readers. For instance, The Three Bears: See the house. It is red and yellow. It is a funny little house. One, two, three. One is the father. One is the mother. One is the baby. The father is big. The baby is little. Patty Wolcott, for Addison-Wesley, repeats neat words! Double-decker, double-decker bus . or fun science concepts. Big fish eat little fish. Big, big fish eat big fish. Tuna! Tuna! Tuna! 2 https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/cbmr/vol6/iss3/2 2 ; Blake: Controlled Vocabulary/Beginning-to-Read Books CHILDREN' S BOOK REVIEW Tunafish! People eat big, big fish. ARO Publishing sells a little boxed set, "I Can Read Underwater" books, that go from zero and six-word books (repeated) to more difficult twenty-word ones. They also have "I Can Eat An Elephant" books for multi-syllable words. Provo writer and illustrator Bob Reese is the creative person behind these sets. His "Critterland Adventures" for Children's press are popular, too. They have titles like: Lactus Cactus, Rapid Robert Roadrunner, and The Critter Race. Whether controlled vocabulary books are found intershelved with the picture books or in a section by themselves, their discovery and affable company is worth any small person's time.

  • 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.

    Relay for Life of Chesterfield 2016 Theme: Dr. Seuss “He took a look and saw… a book!” Your Mission: pick a book! What’s one of the first fun activities we do at Relay? Why, decorate our campsites of course! This year, we’re asking you to pick a Seuss inspired theme – pick a book! Dr. Seuss authored numerous titles throughout his life and you will find 60 titles to choose from! Every team will need to pick a different book and teams will pick their book in the order they registered. You team's campsite should be decorated in the spirit of your book, but your team has the ability to interpret your book however you wish. Here’s a few ideas to get you started: “Horton hatches the CURE” “How the Grinch stole a CURE” “Oh, the places we’ll go when we find a CURE” “The Cat in The Hat Fights Back” “We don't like cancer; not in a box, not with a fox...” And to think that I saw it on Mulberry Street “The story follows a boy named Marco, who describes the sights and sounds of imaginary people and vehicles traveling along Mulberry Street in an elaborate fantasy story he dreams up to tell to his father at the end of his walk, but decides instead to simply tell him what he actually saw.” The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins “Set in feudal times, the story begins in the Kingdom of Didd, when King Derwin is riding through a street past Bartholomew Cubbins, a poor boy in the market.

  • Dr. Seuss (Aka Ted Geisel, Theo. Lesieg, Rosetta Stone) 1
    Theodore Seuss Geisel, known to most as Dr. Seuss, wrote over 70 books by the time he died at age 87 in 1991. Most were written under the name Dr. Seuss (which, by the way he pronounced Soice—rhymes with voice, but others were written under the name Theo. LeSieg—which is Geisel spelled backwards—and one under the name of Rosetta Stone. One of the most amazing things he did for kids was create (with the help of friends) Beginning Reader Books. In the 1950’s a report came out that stated ill-literacy among kids was growing. They blamed it on BORING early readers. Dr. Seuss's friend and editor challenged him to write a story with less than 250 important words for early readers and make it fun for kids. And that is how The Cat in the Hat was “born” and Beginning Reader Books came to be. Dr. Seuss (aka Ted Geisel, Theo. LeSieg, Rosetta Stone) 1. 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins, The (1938) 34.

  • Wacky Wednesday
    Wacky Wednesday Math: Calendar Skills Learn the days of the week together. Language Arts: Alliteration Alliteration is the repetition of a sound at the beginning of two or more neighboring words such as Wacky Wednesday. Authors frequently use this technique for titles as Dr. Seuss did for this book. Have fun with your student by creating your own days of the week allitera- tions. Examples-- Munching Monday, Terrific Tuesday, Wild Wednesday, etc. Math: Counting-- Spot the Wackiness! This book is a blast! On each two page spread, have your student find the wacky things. The text will usually tell you how many to spot ("I saw three, in the bathroom four!, then I counted eleven..."). Wacky Wednesday at Your House! Plan a Wacky Wednesday. Wear your clothes backwards. Eat ice cream for breakfast. Move the furniture around (or even put something upside-down!). Have fun. Your kids will never forget! GeraLd McBoing Boing Language Arts: Onomatopoeia Onomatopoeia is defined as the naming of a thing or action by imitation of natural sounds (as "buzz" or "hiss"). It is a technique often used in poetry, but many writers also include it in short stories (we could simply call onomatopoetic words-- sound effects). What words in Gerald McBoing Boing are examples of Onomatopoeia? Have fun looking through the text with your student and finding these words. Can your student think of other words that have the same effect? Encourage your older student to use onomatopoetic words when he writes poems or short stories. Social Studies: Teasing/Making Fun of Others How does your student feel about the way Gerald's school mates reacted toward him? Sometimes, it's easy to make fun of someone who's different, but it isn't kind.
