  • The Impact of Animated Books on the Vocabulary and Language Development of Preschool­Aged Children in Two School Settings
    The Impact of Animated Books on the Vocabulary and Language Development of Preschool­Aged Children in Two School Settings Amy D. Broemmel, Mary Jane Moran, and Deborah A. Wooten University of Tennessee Abstract With the emergence of electronic media over the past two decades, young children have been found to have increased exposure to video games, computer­based activities, and electronic books (e­books). This study explores how exposure to animated e­books impacts young children’s literacy development. A stratified convenience sample (n = 24) was selected from four mixed­age classrooms at two sites: a Head Start center and a university learning center. Each site included one experimental classroom using both electronic books and traditional picture books and one control classroom using only traditional picture books. The authors noted children’s increased use of new related vocabulary after multiple exposures to the books, whether participants were in the control or the experimental group. Children’s comprehension scores also improved after multiple exposures to books in both groups. However, children’s use of “book language,” (that is, retelling with language patterns that mirror those used in the book’s text) showed variations based on school site rather than control or experimental group. Researchers noted that in some cases, the e­books themselves seemed to mediate the children’s interactions with the text similarly to the way adults facilitate interactions with traditional picture books. Overall, results suggest that animated electronic books have the potential to positively affect the literacy development of young children. Introduction During the past two decades, young children’s exposure to technology and electronic narratives has increased exponentially (Roberts & Foehr, 2008).

  • Picture Books for Older Readers in Public Libraries
    Librarianship Is “E” really for everybody? Picture books for older readers in public libraries By Mikki Smith Abstract Picture books for older readers present challenges for libraries in terms of how best to provide access to them. These books often have an “E” on the spine to indicate that they are “easy” or for “everybody,” and share lower shelves with a far greater number of picture books geared for the preschool and primary grade audience. However, this classification by format might encourage older readers to pass over these materials. At the same time, questions remain about the effectiveness of housing these picture books with juvenile fiction, or of creating separate collections. This article looks at how the picture book as a format and picture book collections are defined, as well as the variety of ways in which a small sample of picture books for older readers are currently being managed in public libraries. Whether bedtime or cumulative stories, alphabet or range of five or six and up, it employs a rich vocabulary counting books, picture books help very young (“plantation,” “muslin,” “chokecherry”), and its context children to understand the world in which they live, to spans from slavery through the present day. On one develop a sense of the language and expand their spread, images of newspaper headlines and signs from the vocabularies, and to learn about expected behaviors. days of segregation (“Death to all race mixers!” and These books for young children are often synonymous “Heaven is crying for justice”) accompany the text. The with “picture books.” Take, for instance, the following fact that the book earned a Newbery Honor speaks to its description of picture books from Horning (1997): sophistication.

  • A Brief History of Children's Storybooks
    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE SCHOOL OF VISUAL ARTS AN ORIGINAL STORY WITH RELIEF PRINT ILLUSTRATIONS MARILYN TURNER MCPHERON Fall 2010 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in Art with honors in Art Reviewed and approved* by the following: Robin Gibson Associate Professor of Art Thesis Supervisor Jerrold Maddox Professor of Art Honors Adviser *Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College ABSTRACT Children’s literature, in the form of picture and storybooks, introduce a child to one of the most important tools needed to succeed in life: the ability to read. With the availability of affordable books in the 18th century, due to the introduction of new mechanization, individuals had the ability to improve their lives and widen their worlds. In the 19th century, writers of fiction began to specialize in literature for children. In the 20th century, books for children, with beautiful, colorful illustrations, became a common gift for children. The relatively rapid progression from moralistic small pamphlets on cheap paper with crude woodcuts to the world of Berenstain Bears, colorful Golden Books, and the tongue-twisters of Dr. Seuss is an intriguing social change. The story of how a storybook moves from an idea to the bookstore shelf is equally fascinating. Combining the history of children’s literature with how a storybook is created inspired me to write and illustrate my own children’s book, ―OH NO, MORE SNOW!‖ i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Schreyer Honors College,
