The text chosen for phase 2 of the text set project is National Geographic Kids: Weather by Kristin Baird Rattini. This is a non-fiction book that allows students to explore various kinds of weather such as rain, sunshine, snow, thunder, lightning, wind and clouds. The pictures in the book are very bright and colorful. It shows children biking through the grass on a sunny day, children in the rain wearing rain gear catching raindrops in their mouths, children playing in a pool, different clouds (flat and gray, thin and wispy) and children playing in the snow. The book has a table of contents with chapters that are 2-3 pages.…

These simple steps will help each individual understand the story.…
The style of writing and the illustrations would make this book appealing to children. The style of writing is simple and very easy to understand for children. Also, I think the style of writing would remind children of how their grandparents speak. They could relate the way the narrator speaks to their grandparents speaking. The illustrations in the book would make the book appealing to children especially in the south because of the colors and the way the people are drawn. It has pictures of cotton fields and farmland. The colors in the book also represent the narrator’s mood and what event was going on in her life.…
For paradigm: The child observes the pictures from the story to get a fine clue, “I believe the word munching rhymes with crunching because the ending sounds the same. In following this presents children the opportunity, to observe the skillful strategies, utilized to require adaptable thinking skills, not a repetition of memory. Another positive aspect of creating a group time around the story, the teacher and students should reexamine their prior prospects and see “how ” adjacent everyone’s thoughts were. The teacher should ask questions such…
Photography is becoming a more influential and common style of illustration.

Teachers can introduce students to the concept of stories through reference to their own lives in this way: 1 Have students brainstorm to list stories they know. As they are given, the teacher can list them in categories: fairy tales, Bible or Koran stories, stories from television or books or films, personal family stories, other types.

By critical analysis it can become a very complicating task to define a child’s book. There are many fundamental definitive factors that can be found in books that have been written for Children. For instance, if we take the example of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe C.S Lewis 1950 . Universally it is recognised as a book for children. It contains the inherent facets of a children’s book. Often a typical children’s book will have a child protagonist. In the classic novel The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe C.S Lewis. C.S Lewis has not just one child protagonist but four. Very commonly we find the child protagonist in the story is an orphan. Again we can see C.S Lewis has shown four children that are away from their parents and the typical family nucleus. Moreover, examples of orphanage can be seen in the classic novel of The Jungle book by Rudyard Kipling 1894. In The Jungle book the child protagonist is an orphan found in the jungle floating in a basket by a panther.…
The sound repetition makes it easier to memorize the stories. When the child can remember the words they feel like they are reading. Both child and parents know they only memorized it, but the child's confidence is boosted, and then next time the challenge of reading will be easier. The illustrations in the stories also help children learn to read. Most stories have made up words to follow the wacky rhyming patterns. These words can often not be understood by child or parent making the child, again, feel confident about reading. The illustrations can help the children figure out the word they do not know.In all of his works the illustrations create metaphors. Some of the best examples are back to his famous story, And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street. When the child is traveling to school, he is carrying a large book that looks uncomfortable. This represents the child not enjoying…

For this project our group has chosen “Fantasy” as our theme. Fantasy refers to a world of imagination filled with creative mental images and uninhibited fancy. These images or visions of fantasy may be distorted faces of reality; or may even be entirely disconnected to the real world. However, fantasy is more often than not linked to the real world in a child’s world and a crucial precursor to future cognitive and creative development.…
Aims: The aim of this assignment is to demonstrate and plan a story to read to a group of children aged 2 and half to 4. I chose this age group because this is the group I work with on a daily bases from 9:30 to 12:30 five days a week. I am picking a story called “Oh Dear” by Rod Campbell who is a Scottish writer and illustrator of several popular children's books including the classic lift-the-flap board book “Dear Zoo”. As it is a story that helps the children with learning the different animals on the farm and also encourages the children to use their imaginations as they lift up the different flaps in the book to see what is behind them. Which Maria Montessori says “Imaginative teaching materials are the heart of the process”. All of Rod Campbell’s “books have simple text often with repeating phrases which is ideal for pre-readers” and will also Help the children with langue and intellectual skills. “The child proceeds at his own pace in an environment controlled to provide means of learning” -Maria Montessori. this book also helps the children physically as they have to get up to lift up the flaps on the book “movement is therefore the essential of life education cannot be conceived of ad a means to moderate or worse to inhibit movement; it should only function as an aid to a better expenditure of energy whilst allowing it to develop normally” -Maria Montessori pg 102 discovery of a child. “The aim of the children who persevere in their work with an object is certainly not to “learn”; they are drawn to it by the needs of their inner life, which must be recognized and developed by its means.” – Maria Montessori pg 120 discovery of a child. To develop their attention spans…
