Encouraging Children To Read

Posted by: childrensgst | Comments (0)

I reckon we will all agree that reading is paramount to success… and most of us delight in the enrichment or escape found in a excellent book of any genre. But, for those of us with a beginner reader in our lives—it may be challenging to pass on, your like of reading. For many of us, reading was hard. It takes lots of concentration and memorization at first. Some of us (i.e. me) were and are bone idle… reading just represented way too much work.

So how can we help our early readers feel the joy of successful reading—without necessarily making it feel like work? One of the very best ways is to start young and read often to your child. It is a wonderful bonding activity and there is nothing like curling up together and sharing a book. Some are migrating to e-readers, but there is something wonderfully tactile about holding a book and turning the pages—perhaps I am ancient-fashion? Yet, there have been times that one of our children’s books has fallen in the tub—and we recovered. I am not so certain that we would have been so relaxed about a $400 e-reader lying beneath the bubbles.

No matter which camp you lie in—take the time to read together. At what age would be a excellent time to start? I would start at birth and start the habit and tradition. I used to read a variety of things to the kids, including Shakespeare’s sonnets. I got the thought from Dylan Thomas’s father, who did the same. When Dylan’s mother commented that she was certain that the child did not know a word—Dad answered, that was probably so, but he would learn that English can be a gorgeous language. I can see the impact on my children… their writing and word choices… languages (any) can be gorgeous.

Once your child is aware and can sit and delight in a tale, you may start with picture books and talk about the pictures. Once they get the feel of this whole book thing—I would then go to an early or simple reader with a controlled vocabulary and a fun rhyming scheme. Dr. Seuss was the master at this. Check books carefully—make sure there are not too many challenging or huge words. Another source is Lunchpail Books, which also use a controlled vocabulary and rhyming scheme. Words are common simple words that are vital for a child to learn to sight-read.

Reading is more than just saying words. It’s a shared activity between children and caring adults. Children can also learn a fantastic deal about language by hearing parents and grandparents read aloud. Children benefit most from reading aloud when parents:
• are enthusiastic about the experience.
• give children time to look at the pictures and encourage them to hunt for objects in the pictures.
• discuss tales with children.
• help children learn to identify letters and words.
• use an index finger underneath words so that children connect the print to the tale.
• talk about the meaning of words.
• answer questions questioned by children at the time they question them.
• continually re-read children’s favorite books.
• compare experiences in books with like experiences in children’s lives.
• encourage children to read with them when phrases are repeated in a book.
• question their children questions related to the book after reading to them.
• encourage children to make up their own tales. P
arents can write down the tales and then read them back to children.

Help children to make their own books by using their own tales and cutting out magazine pictures, photos and/or children’s art work.
Parents will want to keep plenty of books around for children to pick up and parents should set up a regular routine for reading such as nap time and/or bedtime. How many books are in your home?

Children also get the impression that reading is valuable when they see their parents delight in and benefit from reading. When parents read at home and check out library books for themselves, as well as their children, parents model the pleasure and importance of reading.

Lost In The Translation

Posted by: childrensgst | Comments (0)

As you may be aware one of Lunchpail Books well loved children’s books “Peep Peep Finds a Friend” is available in English, Spanish, Italian, French and Chinese. Translating is not an simple task, for there are many nuances within each language that can easily be missed. It was somewhat comforting to know that I was not the only one who had challenges with translating. Here are some classic examples of mistranslations… please note– these blunders work both ways… translating to and from English.

* Chinese:
o The name Coca-Cola in China was first rendered as Ke-kou-ke-la. Unfortunately, the Coke company did not learn until after thousands of signs had been printed that the phrase means “bite the wax tadpole” or “female horse stuffed with wax” depending on the dialect. Coke then researched 40,000 Chinese characters and found a close phonetic equivalent, ko-kou-ko-le, which can be loosely translated as “happiness in the mouth”.
o When translated into Chinese, the Kentucky Fried Chicken slogan “finger-lickin’ excellent” came out as “eat your fingers off”.
o In a Hong Kong supermarket: “For your convenience, we recommend courageous, efficient self-service”.
o Outside a Hong Kong tailor’s shop: “Ladies may have a fit upstairs”.
o In an advertisement by a Hong Kong dentist: “Teeth extracted by the latest Methodists”.
o On the box of a clockwork toy made in Hong Kong: “Guaranteed to work throughout its useful life”.
*

* French:
o Hunt-Wesson introduced its Huge John products in French Canada as Gros Jos before finding out that the phrase, in slang, means “huge breasts”. In this case, but, the name problem did not have a noticeable effect on sales.
o Colgate introduced a toothpaste in France called Cue, the name of a notorious porno mag.
o

o In a Paris hotel elevator: Please leave your values at the front desk.
o Outside a Paris dress shop: Dresses for street walking.
o In a Bed & Breakfast in France: The genuine antics in your room come from our family castle. Long life to it.
o In a Bed & Breakfast in France: Please avoid coca watering, cream cleaning, wet towels wrapping, and ironing drying.

* Italian:
o In Italy, a campaign for Schweppes Tonic Water translated the name into Schweppes Toilet Water.
o Instructions on a packet of convenience food from Italy: “Besmear a backing pan, previously buttered with a excellent tomato sauce, and, after, dispose the cannelloni, lightly distanced between them in a only couch.”
o In a Rome laundry: Ladies, leave your clothes here and spend the afternoon having a excellent time.
o Italian/Italy: In a Rome laundry: Ladies, leave your clothes here and spend the afternoon having a excellent time.
* Japanese:
o The American slogan for Salem cigarettes, “Salem – Feeling Free,” got translated in the Japanese market into “When smoking Salem, you feel so refreshed that your mind seems to be free and empty”.
o Japan’s second-largest tourist agency was mystified when it entered English-speaking markets and started receiving requests for unusual sex tours. Upon finding out why, the owners of Kinki Nippon Tourist Company changed its name.
o A warning to motorists in Tokyo: “When a passenger of the foot heave in sight, tootle the horn. Trumpet at him melodiously at first, but if he still obstacles your passage, then tootle him with vigor.”.
o Panasonic developed a complete Japanese Web browser, and to make the system user-friendly, licensed the cartoon character Woody Woodpecker as the “Internet guide.” Panasonic eventually plotted on a world version of the product. The day before the ads were to be released, Panasonic chose to delay the product launch indefinately. The reason: an American staff member at the internal product launch clarified to the stunned and embarrassed Japanese what the ad’s slogan, “Touch Woody – The Internet Pecker”, might mean to English speakers.
o In a Tokyo bar: Special cocktails for the ladies with nuts.
o In a Tokyo hotel: Is forbitten to steal hotel toweles please. If you are not person to do such thing is please not to read this notice.
o In a Japanese hotel room: Please to bathe inside the tub.
o In a Japanese hotel: You are invited to take advantage of the chambermaid.
o Diversion sign in Kyushi, Japan: Stop – Drive Sideways.
o English text on products made in Japan solely for Japanese consumers:
+ Message printed on an eraser: “Mr. Friendly Quality Eraser. Mr. Friendly Arrived!! He always stay near you, and steals in your mind to lead you to a excellent situation.”. On the bottom of the eraser is a further message: “We are ecologically minded. This package will self-destruct in Mother Earth.”.
+ On Coke cans: “I FEEL COKE & SOUND SPECIAL”.
+ Text on a shopping bag picturing dancing elephants: “ELEPHANT FAMILY ARE Pleased WITH US. THEIR HUMMING MAKES US FEEL Pleased.”
+ Text on a shopping bag showing yachts on a blue sea: “SWITZERLAND: SEASIDE CITY”.
+ A range of products by a company called Cream Soda used to have the slogan: “Too quick to live, too young to pleased”.
* Spanish:
o When General Motors introduced the Chevy Nova in South America, it was apparently unaware that “no va” means “it won’t go”. After the company figured out why it wasn’t selling any cars, it renamed the car in its Spanish markets to the Caribe.
o When Parker Pen marketed a ball-point pen in Mexico, its ads were supposed to say “It won’t leak in your pocket and embarrass you”. But, the company’s mistakenly thought the Spanish word “embarazar” meant embarrass. Instead the ads said that “It wont leak in your pocket and make you pregnant”.
o An American T-shirt maker in Miami printed shirts for the Spanish market which promoted the Pope’s visit. Instead of the desired “I Saw the Pope” in Spanish, the shirts proclaimed “I Saw the Potato”.
o Chicken-man Frank Perdue’s slogan, “It takes a tough man to make a tender chicken”, got terribly mangled in another Spanish translation. A photo of Perdue with one of his birds appeared on billboards all over Mexico with a caption that clarified “It takes a hard man to make a chicken aroused”.
o In an Acapulco hotel a sign read “The manager has personally passed all the water served here”.
o The Mitsubishi four wheel drive marketed in Australia as the “Pajero” was the cause of fantastic emabarassmentt in Spain where “Pajero” means “masturbater”.
* Other languages:

o Denmark: in a Copenhagen airline ticket office: We take your bags and send them in all directions.
o German/Austria: a sign in a hotel catering to skiers read “Not to perambulate the corridors in the hours of repose in the boots of ascension”.

o German/Germany: in a Leipzig elevator: Do not enter the lift backwards, and only when lit up.
o German/Germany: a sign posted in Germany’s Black Forest: It is strictly forbidden on our black forest camping site that people of different sex, for instance, men and women, live together in one tent unless they are married with each other for that purpose.
o Greek/Greece: in a hotel in Athens: Visitors are expected to complain at the office between the hours of 9 and 11 A.M. daily.
o Polish/Poland: on the menu of a Polish hotel: Salad a firm’s own make; limpid red beet soup with cheesy dumplings in the form of a finger; roasted duck let loose; beef rashers beaten up in the country people’s fashion.
o Portuguese/Brazil: Ford had a problem in Brazil when the Pinto flopped. The company found out that Pinto was Brazilian slang for “tiny male genitals”. Ford pried all the nameplates off and substituted Corcel, which means horse.

Challenges With English And Reading

Posted by: childrensgst | Comments (0)

Ever wonder why it seemed so hard to learn to read when you were a child. English especially is full of idiosyncrasies and rules with exceptions. For example, we all learned “I” before “E” except after “C”, but then you have words like weird, freight, and many others. It is vital to keep in mind that English also barrows greatly from other languages… When learning to speak French, I was surprised to learn that English and French have 60% of their words in common! Merci Beacoup.

Here are some examples of other fascinating word origins and other trivia:
• The first word spoken on the moon was “okay.”
• Seoul, the South Korean capital, just means “the capital” in the Korean language
• The name of all the continents end with the same letter that they start with
• Panspermia is the thought that life on Earth originated on another planet.

• In English, “four” is the only digit that has the same number of letters as its value

• The word “trivia” comes from the Latin “trivium” which is the place where three roads meet, a public square. People would gather and talk about all sorts of matters, most of which were trivial
• TYPEWRITER, is the longest word that can be made using the letters only one row of the keyboard
• “Speak of the Devil” is small for “Speak of the Devil and he shall come”. It was believed that if you spoke about the Devil it would attract his attention. That’s why when you’re talking about someone and they show up people say “Speak of the Devil”
• The word “Checkmate” in chess comes from the Persian phrase “Shah Mat,” which means, “the King is dead”
• The sentence “the quick brown fox jumps over the bone idle dog” uses every letter in the English language

Get The Most Out Of Story Time!

Posted by: childrensgst | Comments (0)

I found this article on education.com by Lawren Allphin… thought it was right on the mark. Many of you out there have a child entering kindergarten… Wow! What a huge step… it can be as traumatizing for Moms and Dads as it is for kids. But, just because they are or will be soon in school, doesn’t let you off the hook to educate your child(ren). As a parent this responsibility is yours…

Anyway, here is the article for those kindergarten newbies– making the most out tale time.

By Lawren Allphin
You’ve been reading, reading, reading to your small one. But as you read, you may be curious about whether you should be doing things differently. Ever wondered if there are certain questions you should be asking your child, or certain points you should be making to guide her? Ever wondered if there’s some magic formula for transforming a casual bedtime tale into an opportunity to rocket your kindergarten kid towards reading?

The answer on all fronts, is yes. Reading to children is fantasic, no matter how you do it. But there are ways of reading aloud that make it even better. From fantastic questions to question your child, to vital points to emphasize in your daily read-alouds, here are five simple steps to help transform your sessions, and give your kid a major boost on the road to reading:

1. Don’t Skip the Cover! Whether diving into a new tale or an ancient favorite, we often go straight for the excellent stuff, and skip right over the cover. But the cover is really a goldmine for teaching and reinforcing reading basics. Improve your child’s awareness of print concepts by showing her the title, and reading it aloud as you point to each word. Once your child understands where the title should be, question her to show you where it is before you read it to her. Do the same with the author and illustrator, and quiz your child sporadically about what the jobs of the author and illustrator are.

The skill of making predictions will be emphasized in kindergarten, so it’s vital to exercise your child’s ability to make guesses about what he is about to read. Guide your child in making predictions about the tale, by using the title and illustrations on the cover. For example, if you show your child a book that has an illustration of a caterpillar on the front, and read him the title of The Very Hungary Caterpillar, he should be able to guess some of the elements of the tale, based on that information. Praise your child for creative and in-depth predictions, but when he comes up with something that seemingly has nothing to do with the illustrations or text, explore further. Question your child which clues led to his prediction. (Sometimes children articulate brilliant reasons, even if the adult had no clue where they were going with it!) If a prediction really is off base or cannot be supported by reasonable cues in the cover illustrations and title, redirect your child toward a more logical prediction.

2. Take a Picture Walk: When most parents reckon of reading aloud, they reckon of words. But sometimes, pictures can give as much context as text. You can teach your child to use illustrations to give him clues about the surrounding words, with a picture walk. On a picture walk, you and your child meander through the book looking at each picture before you read any text. As you look at the pictures, question questions like, “Where do you reckon he’s going?” or “Why do you reckon the rabbit is sad?” Discussing each picture with your child will help him build a formula for getting information out of the illustrations and make predictions about what might happen next.

Once your child gets to the point where she can read new text on her own, the picture walk has a new level of importance. Some of the words on a new page of text may be too hard for your reader to decode (or sound out using knowledge of letter sounds,) so she will have to rely on the pictures for help. For example, if the text says, “The toad is huge,” and your child can read the, is and huge, but not toad, you can remind her to use the pictures as a guide.

3. Be a Model Reader: When you end your picture walk and you are ready to read aloud to your child, model the skills you would him to use. For example, if you’re working on matching spoken words to written words, be sure to point to every word as you read. If you’re working on understanding punctuation, point out the uses of the punctuation marks on the page. If you’re working on sight word recognition, make a verbal note when you’ve read one. Read expressively and use a consistent pace to model fluency. Discuss the predictions that you made together during the picture walk, and talk about how the text proves or dispels them. Question for new predictions consistently throughout the tale in order to check your child’s level of understanding.

4. Get the Re-tell: For emerging readers, comprehension is just as vital as being able to read the words on a page. You can find out how well your child understood a tale by asking her to retell it to you. Question lots of questions to fill in the holes she leaves, and throw in vocabulary words such as character, setting, problem and solution. Then take it a step further by asking your child critical thinking questions about the tale: “Do you reckon Goldilocks did the right thing by going into the three bears’ house without permission?” or “Why do you reckon the Grinch was so miserable at the beginning of the tale?” Not only will this aid her comprehension, but it will provoke critical thinking.

5. Get the Review: To end up, question your child if he liked the tale you just shared with him, and why. You’ll be boosting his comprehension skills, but it will also help you to choose tales that are sure to capture his attention next time. Try to coax more than a “yes” or “no” with more questions. For example, question your child to show you his favorite page, and tell you all about it.

Tale time doesn’t always have to be chock-full of lessons, but having an awareness of the skills that can be taught while reading to your child comes in handy when those “teaching moments” pop up. When time is small, choose to focus on just one of the five steps. They don’t need to be used together, and certainly not each and every time. Work that cover, walk through those pictures, model your reading skills, get the re-tell and the review, and you’ll be a lean, mean, storytime-teaching machine. And your kid won’t be far behind…

Where to start? Find fun simple to read (early reader or beginner reader) books that your kids can solo with. Take a look at Lunchpail Books for some fun books… you may wish to make this even more special by customizing your book.

NEW CHILDREN’S BEDTIME STORY INTRODUCES POP SURREALISM TO KIDS

Posted by: childrensgst | Comments (0)

This summer, Seattle artist and newly-published author Steve Ouch brings surrealism into the world of Children’s Bedtime Tales in a way never done before. The pop surrealism style imagery introduces children to the wild imagination of balancing hippos and cows who say meow.

“SteamPotVille is about teaching kids early to build on their imagination and be creative,” says Ouch. “We must focus on keeping our imaginations alive as we age. I encourage children to embrace and develop the wonders of creativity early on.”
While Ouch’s work is clearly a force of surrealist imagery, it possesses a strong sense of design as well. He refers to his work as “photo montage” though that might be a modest or incomplete descriptor, as it does not convey the complexity and innovation that comes to the fore upon viewing.
“I spend time deconstructing a scene I develop in my head, then I rough it out on paper. Next, I take pictures and apply them to the layout in Photoshop, over and over, until I feel like the image is strong enough to stand on its own. “
Ouch’s juxtaposition of surprising images is both enticing and captivating – for adults as well as children. Blending his childhood experiences, photographs and digital images is what led to the creation of the whimsical world of SteamPotVille – a place where you might find a pear smirking at you, a teapot serving carousel rides, or even pair of flippered feet on the verge of entering a Hiroshige-inspired tsunami wave – all in one scene, fitting together as seamlessly as pieces in a jigsaw puzzle. All for the sake of firing up the curiosity, drawing out the viewer’s own imaginative perception.
Ouch’s text supports the visual experience. In SteamPotVille your journey starts just like every other day – albeit in a town built of cowboy campfire coffee pots. But, at night when you fall asleep you start to dream and the world turns upside-down. Solving the mystery behind the weird occurrences in the town is only half the fun. SteamPotVille encourages readers to take an active role, pushing us to take an intimate look at each page and then come up with new tales in examining the topsy-turvy art. It’s clear SteamPotVille isn’t as simple as just another Children’s Tale.

“Each page (of SteamPotVille) has about 150 hours of illustration time. When you spend that much time on one piece, the characters start their improvisations. Adjusting the text to express this phenomenon makes the book a better read. That’s a flexibility that comes with being the author and the illustrator.”

Ouch’s accomplishments as a media innovator and online digital strategist has also awarded him prestigious work with companies like Ford Motor Company and Intel. Individual pieces from his collection, along with selections from his recently published SteamPotVille, can be viewed online or in collections in Seattle.
