  • Adventures of a Nepali Frog Kanak Mani Dixit Illustrations by Subhas Rai
    ADVENTURES OF A NEPALI FROG KANAK MANI DIXIT ILLUSTRATIONS BY SUBHAS RAI An excitable young frog from Kathmandu Valley, “just out of his tadpole teens”, decides to travel through his country. Bhaktaprasad Bhyaguto goes where no frog has gone before. He rides a tin can downriver, treks past majestic peaks, rides porter-back, mule-back and yak-back to remote villages, arid hops across a good part of Nepal before returning to Kathmandu in an airline pilot’s shirt pocket. This description of Bhaktaprasad’s adventures through Nepal’s mountains, hills and plains presents authentic landscapes and unique characters. It brings Nepal to life for the young readers, and helps build empathy for the creatures, including humans, that inhabit the Nepali countryside. Bhaktaprasad: a name common in Nepal Bhyaguto: ‘frog’ in the Nepali language Rato Bangala Kitab is the publishing wing of Rato Bangala School in Kathmandu Valley. This book is part of our effort to provide the children of Nepal with readings specific to their country and society. We also hope it will help inform a larger audience of young readers about life and times in this corner of South Asia. KATHMANDU CALLING Bhaktaprasad Bhyaguto was a young Kathmandu frog, barely out of his tadpole teens. He lived with his grandfather Buddhiprasad, mother Sanomaiya, sisters and brothers in a rice terrace by the village of Ichangu, on a hillside behind the great stupa of Swayambhu. Like all froggies his age, Bhaktaprasad was a curious amphibian, but only more so. He was the quickest to learn to hop among his brood, and had lately taken to venturing out of the muddy paddies and unto the path used by humans that went down the hill.

  • Phonological Awareness.Pub
    Phonological Awareness Literacy Oral ge Langua Numeracy Challenging Behaviors ©Project REEL: Sandefur, Gamble, Warren, and Hicks (2006) 1 Phonological Awareness to remember about young children’s learning: 1. Children learn best in a social setting. Therefore, avoid independent seat work. 2. Children learn best through play. Therefore, immerse them in a richly active play and avoid worksheets. 3. Children learn best when they are allowed to approximate adult behaviors. Therefore, demonstrate adult practices and accept children’s attempts at those adult practices as if they were already conventional efforts. 4. Children learn best in an atmosphere of respect where their dignity is protected. Therefore, establish appropriately high expectations for children, focusing on positive guidance instead of punishment. 5. Children learn best when they have daily opportunities to use diverse social, language, literacy, and numeracy practices and receive extensive feedback from the caring adults in their classroom. Therefore, offer children time to use new ideas and respond to them in ways that enriches their understandings. ©Project REEL: Sandefur, Gamble, Warren, and Hicks (2006) 2 Phonological Awareness Project REEL: Workshop 3 A FOCUS ON PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS “Learning to talk is just a start. When a child learns to talk, she has to combine the separate sounds, or phonemes, that make up words to pronounce them. But she’s not conscious of what she’s doing when she says a word. Reading requires that the child become conscious of the fact that written words are made up pieces of sound (phonemes). It requires a deeper level of awareness of language—phonological aware- ness” (Hirsh-Pasek & Golinkoff, 2003, p.

Generally, no seam allowances are included in the patterns, except for areas marked with ES (extra seam allowance). • Cut out the shapes after sewing, cutting ⅛in–¼in (3mm–6mm) outside the sewn line, unless otherwise instructed. • To get a good shape, cut snips in the seam allowance where the seams curve tightly inwards.
