  • 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).

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.

  • 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.

Picture books create excitement about reading and also fit perfectly into theEnglish Language Arts requirements of the Common Core State Standards. The K–3 standards call for students to pay close attention to words and illustrations and to learn to identify characters, setting, and plot. The books in this brochure offer the sort of multilayered language that the standards emphasize. Common Core also requires second and third graders to learn about folklore, which is a pleasure with outstanding folktales like Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People’s Ears and Seven Blind Mice. The brochure is organized by categories that reflect the needs of primary grade classrooms. Within each category is an annotated list of appropriate books, each aligned to a specific Common Core standard, with at least one activity related to that standard. You’ll also find additional annotated book selections in each category. The suggested activities fulfill the standards in ways that acknowledge different learning styles.
