Oral Storytelling, fannel board and theatrical story are three creative method that could be used to motivate children to listen and stay involved while a story is begin read aloud to them. For instance using the old traditional method oral storytelling will give the storyteller the opportunity to put themselves in the story by using their own language. The book should be fascinating to the story teller with strong, clear characters and have their ability for the kids to use their imagination. Using the flannel board is easy and fun to make. It involves both hand and oral movements. As the story teller I must keep eye contact for attention of the children. One of the best part about using the flannel board is being creative and creating objects

C.S Lewis wrote an essay titled On Three Ways of Writing for Children. A highly acclaimed author of children’s fantasy books-widely known for his series The Chronicles of Narnia- Lewis goes into detail about the three ways children’s stories can be written. This essay will examine these three categories in relation to C.S Lewis’s book entitled Prince Caspian.

Despite the different versions that have been edited and presented throughout the years; this fairy tale is still very current in contemporary literature and in the film industry. The various motifs used distinguish the storylines and characters of each version of the fairy tale. The motifs also encourage the development of each plot and allow the younger audience to engage with the fairy tale itself. The theme of freedom leads into the also present theme of good versus evil. In turn this gives the story the opportunity to have a ‘happily ever after’ which the audience

Books that children read are important sponsors of literacy. They help students learn how to read and understand their world. However, if a child is only introduced or given stories that can’t relate to, they will not identify themselves as somebody that could be part of that story. For example, Adichie describes the books she read as a child. As a Nigerian child she only read books about British children. She recalls in her

Up until the 1950’s, books were considered for leisure and family time but not for marketing (Zipes, 2009). High-tech and mass media has brought about a culture that surrounds us by residues of the fairy tale by Disney’s marketing marvels ranging from motion picture revisions and music to toys and fast food enticements (Parsons, 2004). Jack Zipes claims that we “live in a world that causes our lives to be mediated and determined by illusionary images,” and in the last several decades, Disney does that best (2009, p. 127). Disney’s revisions of fairy tales seem centered upon the assumption of “childhood as a time of innocence with maturation into adulthood involving a loss of this innocence [and that innocence]

My students interest in fairy tales guided my choice for selecting The Three Billy Goats Gruff as the text to use in this learning segment. The text is kindergarten age appropriate with illustrations that support the text in the book to assist with students that are visual learners and the students with EIP’s that rely on the illustrations to determine key details. The text is structured in a way that supports students being able to identify the beginning, middle, and end as it has three Billy goats trying to cross a bridge in a specific order. The text uses a lot of repetition which makes the text predictable to the students, therefore the students will learn the text quickly and they will be able to join in on specific phrases during the student role-play of retelling in lesson two.

Fairy tales are read and told by many and leave lasting impressions and memories long into adulthood. While some of the originally intended morals of pre-modern fairy tales can be seen as outdated by today’s standards, these tales still hold great relevance because of the virtues they teach, their ability to foster the ability of imagination, and the way they are able to show how to deal with difficult situations often with great resourcefulness. Many people in today’s society feel the need shield their children from these tales because they deem many too scary or disagree with certain examples being set, but there is still much value to be found.

In a child’s early life, hearing and reading fairy tales are extremely important aspects of expanding their imagination. In these fairy tales, children can use their minds to paint a picture and create a reality that only their eyes can see. It is said the “original” fairy tales, like those from the Brothers Grimm, were too explicit for a child’s mind, and that a “happier” fairy tale would do the job better. It is also said that these fairy tales are appropriate because they display honest and real life situations. Although the “original” fairy tales were great and legendary in their time, children today should not be exposed to darker fairy tales at an early age, and instead should be exposed to the more “sanitized” fairy tales because they are healthy for children’s mind, they allow the children to maintain their innocence, and they are entertaining while teaching a lesson without instilling fear and scaring them.

By taking this class, I have learned about the stories of our childhood and how they affect us in many ways. They allow for children and adults to connect with one another while reading a certain story. This allows both the parent and the child the ability to wind down from a stressful day just by reading. I learned about how stories make us who we are and help us escape into a different reality. Stories can elicit emotional responses from us, help us deal with certain problems in our lives, and give us the chance to empathize with certain characters who are like us. Bedtime stories allow us to use our own imagination which allows us to travel to various places without even moving an inch from where we are sitting. I have also learned how bedtime stories from our childhood help us realize what we value and what our morals are. Therefore, this class has taught me about the books of our childhood and how it helps strengthen our imagination just by reading little black marks on a piece of paper.

Throughout the years parents have asked themselves if their child’s night-time routine, specifically the bedtime stories, are worth it. Nights would be so trouble-free if we could just tuck them in and go. But as appealing as that sounds, it’s hard to imagine a childhood without those fantastic and vivid tales. Whether it’s a board book or a chapter book, there’s something about the old smell and the perfectly thought out stories that can bring back a whirlwind of memories. That’s why it is so hard to believe, that in some areas of the world and even parts of the U.S, people would deny children the joys of reading. As society becomes more technology based and paper books become scarce, the importance of reading to children (of any ages) becomes largely apparent. Some studies even suggest reading is beneficial as early as in utero. Listening to a parent or family member read aloud for even 10 minutes a day, has been linked to helping children develop crucial language and reading skills, form closer bonds with their parents or family members, and expand their emotional compacities. So, while these stories and fairy tales may seem trivial and unrealistic to adults, they have a very different effect on the growing and developing minds of the children in our lives.

Throughout the course of our history, there have been many different types of fairy tales adaptations being created. There has been different adaptations made into books, movies, and films. Every adaptation has a different central idea on what their adaption signifies. For example, in Disney’s version Beauty and the Beast, it has different meaning and central ideal aiming towards its viewers. In contrast, the fairytale narrative by Beaumont has a total different view for its readers. Films and readings are very different, films tend to create a more visual and sound perspective view. As the narratives, tend to create a visual look in mind, it tends to imagine it more realistically for the readers. However, not only can these be the only significance difference in these different adaptations, some differences can depend on the perspective, media, form, and narrative they were created. For instance, the animated Beauty and the Beast has different forms due for it being a film. Some of the differences can be….

The book is most appropriate for children between the ages five and seven because of its simplicity in diction and short syntax. Moreover, the overall message is something young children should know early in their lives.

1-What is the purpose of the arguments? What does it hope to achieve? The purpose of that argument is to show to parents how it is helpful for their child to be a book lover. It also teaches them how to proceed to turn their child into book lover. With the expansion of electronics toys for children, this article point out how books have positive power in language of children rather than videos toys.

Maria Tatar is a published author, whose mastery lies in children’s literature. Tatar’s work, Enchanted Hunters: The Power of Stories in Childhood, focuses on the impact of children’s literature on kids. According to Tatar, children don’t read analytically to find the meaning or lesson behind the words on the page, but rather they seek the “vicarious pleasure” given off as they explore the world in their books (Tatar 17). Depending on different circumstances, many children read to escape their own world. This pleasure allows them to sense the thrill and adventure in this new world that was missing from their real life. With so much energy within a child, boredom occurs much more easily than towards adults. Tatar refers a children’s book as a “therapeutic aid for the lonely child with little to do” (Tatar 17).
