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.

  • 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.

    MASARYK UNIVERSITY Faculty of Education Department of English Language and Literature Popularity of Dr. Seuss and the Use of His Books in Language Classes Final thesis Brno 2020 Supervisor: Author: PhDr. Alena Dobrovolná, Ph.D. Mgr. Jana Hegerová 2 Acknowledgments My profound appreciation goes to my supervisor PhDr. Alena Dobrovolná, Ph.D. for her valuable guidance and useful feedback during the writing process. 3 Prohlášení Prohlašuji, že jsem závěrečnou práci vypracovala samostatně, s využitím pouze citovaných pramenů, dalších informací a zdrojů v souladu s disciplinárním řádem pro studenty Pedagogické fakulty Masarykovy univerzity a se zákonem č. 121/2000 Sb., o právu autorském, o právech souvisejících s právem autorským a o změně některých zákonů (autorský zákon), ve znění pozdějších předpisů. V Brně dne 5. června 2020 .............................. Mgr. Jana Hegerová 4 Annotation Learning English language might be challenging whether it is someone’s first or second (third and so on) language. Theodor Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss, wrote many books for children using a limited vocabulary mostly consisting of monosyllabic words that rhyme. This fact allows the reader to learn this vocabulary in a very playful way. Using Dr. Seuss’s books in language classes might be a great way to teach vocabulary to children. Children not only enjoy the rhymes and stories, but there are also “hidden” moral messages in each book that might be discussed in the classroom. The key aim for this thesis is to raise awareness of Dr. Seuss’s books as a very useful source of enjoyment during the teaching and learning process in schools. This thesis contains lesson plans based on Dr.
