it is my favorite picture books for children 's because children prefer this type of books specially for the kids four years and under.

Knowledge of onset and rime allows students to read unknown words based on existing word knowledge and the ability to build word families (Pinnell & Fountas, 1998, p. 236) based on rime sounds. The introduction of phonemes during phonological awareness occurs in the last level, where explicit instruction is used to teach students how to detect, segment, count, blend and manipulate separate phonemes (Yopp & Yopp, 2009, p. 3). Strategies to support phonological awareness includes counting and clapping out both sentences and syllables, rhyme riddles, guess which object (Yopp & Yopp, 2009, p. 8), segmenting words requiring students to blend back together and instruction of rhyme identification (Fellows & Oakley, 2010, p. 190). Rhyme identification can be explored through song and nursery rhymes, grouping words according to onset and rime (McDevitt & Ormrod, 2004, p. 331), rhyming games such as roll a rhyme (Fellows & Oakley, 2010, p. 190) and cumulative reading texts. Children not exposed to different forms of rhyming within the home environment will need explicit instruction in how to determine what a rhyming word and what it is. As the concept of rhyme is normally introduced before developing reading ability, students struggling with identifying sounds may benefit from picture cards to introduce the concept, allowing them to group and identify rime

Introduction to reading comes through phonetic reading boxes. The reading boxes are cleverly organized, going from simple to the complex. Reading does not follow the same process of writing, which is taking our own thoughts and symbolizing. When we read, it is not our language with which we are working with, it is the author’s language. Reading is the analysis of the language followed by a synthesis. Story telling and socio-dramatic play in the environment can help the child develop an imagination that fosters a higher capability to understand what is being read to them.

Summary: This is a rhyming story of a mouse and a monster. Little mouse goes for a walk in a dangerous forest. The little mouse tries to scare every animal he comes across in the wood and tells them about the Gruffalo which he makes up a story about. In the end of the book he bumps into the Gruffalo because he turns out to be real. The little mouse gets a big fright and they end up being friends.

For Preschoolers 3-5 years of age, I would use pictures from the book to help children see and associate the actual name with the feeling. I would help them understand the explicit theme of this

Opportunities for sharing books and rhymes – Looking at books with adults seems to promote children’s languages. All settings should have a place where the children can look at books independently or share the book with an adult. The area needs to be warm, cosy and comfortable. The books need to be attractive and displayed so that the children can access them easily. As well as sharing books, language rich environments also provide opportunities for children to learn a use new rhymes and songs. Rhymes and songs are known to encourage children to vocalise.

There are many components to building a student’s reading skill set. One skill that is introduced in preschool and developed through the primary grades is phonemic awareness. The term phonemic awareness is defined as the ability to hear, identify, and manipulate phonemes – individual sounds. The child becomes aware of how sounds are connected to words prior to reading. This awareness creates the understanding of how phonemes explains how the smallest part of sound creates a difference in sound to the meaning of a word. Therefore, the ability to dismantle words, and reassemble them, and then to alter the word into something different explains the concept behind phonemic awareness. It is the primary foundation in which other reading skill sets are according based.

When they arrived Mama and Kirst went inside, Annemarie and Ellen went for a walk. They walked down a path where they saw a cat that was eyeing them out. When they reached the ocean Ellen told Annemarie how she and never been to the proper ocean, only the harbour because her mum was afraid of the big sea and that it was to cold.

The book is intended to bring adults to the same level as the children, and children to the same level of adults. This is expected to be the happy meeting ground where both can feel comfortable and non-threatened by each other. Adults can use these methods in the book to improve the daily quality of their relationships and interactions with children. It will also bring about more cooperation from children without arguing, yelling, or having to punish the children. It also guides you against turning a simple conversation into an argument and making the time you spend with a child more enjoyable for both of you.

I have chosen for the language book entry onomatopoeia. Originally, I wrote about alliteration. I was drawn to this post because I recognized my friends last name and I wanted to see what she was writing about. The book she choose sounded interesting so I decided to go with this one. The book my classmate wrote about is called Tippy Toe Chick, Go! by George Shannon. I recognized this book from babysitting over the summer and reading this book. George Shannon has been writing children's books his whole life. He spent years as a children's librarian and later a professional storyteller, influenced his writings and stories. After reading about this author I have learned that in order to accomplish anything in life, you need to love what you are
