How to Be an Excellent Storyteller

2011-07-16T20:13:00.000-04:00

Story Telling can be one of the greatest and powerful tools used when teaching young ones to love books.
* Some stories can be real from a book or something that has happened
* Some stories can be make-believe something you can make up to try to
get a certain lesson across

RULES OF STORY TELLING
A. Read the story and know it.
- Know it well enough to tell it in your own words.

B. Your story should focus on ONE MAIN IDEA.
- What is the truth or moral I'm trying to communicate in my story?

C. You can make up stories.
1. You need a main character or hero (cowboy, astronaut, etc.).
* What is the character like?
* What is the character's name?
* Is the character strong? smart? brave?

2. Use the character weekly for 3 months.
* But change adventures weekly.

3. Reinvent the character for the next 3 months.
* Rotate stories every 2 to 3 cycles.

D. Do not give away the whole story in the title or the beginning.
- Create suspense

E. Use voices to create the mood.
- Sadness, anger, suspense, happiness, etc.

F. Let characters talk.
- Act out the part.

G. Story must have a PACE.
- Speed up or slow down your voice.

H. Use sound effects and objects.

I. Ask questions while telling the story.
- This grabs the attention of the children.

J. Make an application (truth in the lesson).
1. Build the story to a CLIMAX.

2. Bring the story to a CONCLUSION.

3. ASK QUESTIONS at the end of every story.

Learn to use the tool of story telling effectively to communicate and inspire young children to love to read and listen to stories.

Difficulties with Reading

2011-06-12T20:33:00.000-04:00

What boggles the minds of parents is why or where did the reading process for their child brake down. Many experts have identified reading problems to stem from either decoding, comprehension and retention with most believing that the bulk comes from decoding problems.

Decoding ~ Websters definition is the use of phonetics to decipher print patterns and translate them into the sounds of language.

In simpler terms the process of breaking down the phonemes of a word. For instance the average decoder can separate the sounds "tuh", "aah", "guh" for the word "tag."

Someone who has difficulty in this area may not be able to break down and differentiate the word "tag" on the page. If you think about it, this is the process in which we all learned how to read words; by sounding them out.

Signs that your child has a decoding problem:
* Having trouble sounding out words
* Slow reading rate (takes time to sound out words)
* Ignoring punctuation when reading
* Confusion between letters and the sound they represent
* Reading without expression

Comprehension ~ in terms of reading comprehension it measures the understanding of a passage of text.

Comprehension relies heavily on decoding. Children who have difficulties with decoding will find it difficult to understand and remember what they have read. They spend most of their time trying to decode the words that when they are finished, they are not able to grasp the understanding of the passage making it very exhausting for them.

Signs of comprehension difficulties:
* Lack of concentration during reading
* Confusion about the meaning of words or sentences
* Not able to connect ideas in a passage

Lastly Retention ~ which requires the ability to retain facts and figures in memory. Retention requires the child to have both decoding and comprehension skills. Reading to learn and to retain by memory is critical in a child's life and throughout their schooling years. It becomes an essential task and is expected of them through the education system.

Signs of retention difficulties:
trouble remembering or summarizing what is read
* Difficulty connecting what is read to prior knowledge
* Difficulty applying content of a text to personal experiences
* Trouble remembering or summarizing what is read

HOW TO GET HELP: Contact their school for a list of reading specialists that can help your child with their difficulty. Most schools have staff that are certified and can help your child during the school day. Do this ASAP.

If you need more help deciphering the process that is breaking down you can always contact the child's school psychologist that would be able to access the problem areas and formulate a written plan for the child and give you more guidance.

If the child is not of school age spend more time in the areas of concern and seek professional help if applicable that way they will be at the level of their classmates when entering school.

Your Baby Can Read

2011-05-18T23:01:00.000-04:00

All babies have good recognition memory and novelty preference so they likely enjoy looking at pictures and word cards with their parents. Perceiving patterns and connecting symbols with meaning is what reading is all about. Babies and toddlers likely begin as right brain readers who pick up reading as easily as they pick up three languages if all three languages are spoken by their caregivers between birth and age 3. (If one waits until age 6, it's not so easy for the child to pick up three languages simultaneously. The baby brain, not the 6-year-old brain, has special language and reading capacities.)

Therefore, how much more important it is to read to your baby early on when they can grasp words and pictures and piece them together. When you start reading early on with your baby you're instilling the love of reading in them for years to come.

Remember to pace yourself if it's not the right time for word games or picture cards stop immediately and go back to it again. Even while they are babies they can be turned off to the reading game even though you may think they don't have the ability to be "turned off." If they can pick up multiple languages before the age of 3 they can pick up a lot more than us parents think. Underestimating a baby's ability to learn is the problem we have with illiteracy in young children today.

Join me in putting a stop to illiteracy and spread the word to all Moms of infant children that their babies can learn and read NOW.

Refer them to our blog or they can contact us with any questions they may have.

Thanks for supporting us and partnering with us in this mission.

Talked Out of Tantrums

2011-04-08T11:58:00.000-04:00

A new study in the Early Childhood Research Quarterly states that reading to your kids may help keep them from throwing fits.

Researchers measured toddlers' spoken vocabulary and self-regulation and the ability to control behavior and emotions.

Increased vocabulary especially at 24 months serves as a strong predictor of self-regulation. Especially in boys since they're extra-vulnerable to self control problems to begin with.

The increased vocabulary leads kids to voice their thoughts and to take charge of their situation instead of growing frustrated. It makes sense since smaller children that can not talk will throw a tantrum because they can not express what they want or need!

The research led to kids that had a boost from thinking and communicating in words resulted in tantrums being dramatically reduced.

Therefore if your child throws tantrums READ to them more and help them build their vocabulary!

Check out my previous post on the blog (scroll down) on teaching your child to read and the method I used with my daughter. Not only does this method work it builds vocabulary as well which are the key indicators in this research.

Good Luck!

Teach your child to READ

2011-03-06T21:41:00.001-05:00

Personalized Children's Books Music & Gifts by KD Novelties

I am an avid believer in teaching children to read at a very early age. As soon as your toddler starts speaking did you know that they can start reading too?! Reading is all about memorization; once the word is known to the child and when they see that word anywhere, they will be able to read and speak it. Hence, the beginning of their reading journey.

I started to teach my daughter how to read at a very early age. I am going to share how she started reading books before she even reached Kindergarten.

What we did was pick a book that was interesting to her and we focused on one page a week. I took every single word that was on that first page and put them on flash/index cards. I started with three words. I would show her one word and I would say the word out loud and asked her to repeat it. I did this for about 5 to 10 times on the first word. As soon as I saw that she was able to say the word without my help I would go on to the second word. I repeated the same process. I then revealed the first two words she just learned and repeated those for about 5 to 10 times. Once she got the first two words I then proceeded to the third word and repeated the process again. Once the third word was memorized I introduced all three words and did this for 5 to 10 times. After about half hour or so she learned three words.

If time allotted, I introduced another three words; same process, however after the fourth word was memorized, I introduced all four words together to keep her remembering the first 3 words she learned. When I got to the fifth word repeated the process and introduced all five words and so on. You get the picture. After about one hour or so she learned 6 words.

Every child is different you don't have to repeat 5 to 10 times. You may need to repeat it more or repeat it less until they have it memorized. You can do more than 6 words a day or less. It can take 30 minutes or more again every child's learning capability is unique, however, every child can learn to read regardless of their learning ability.

After the first days words are achieved when you resume (i.e. following day) you will need to repeat the six words or however many they learned in the first day. Make sure they have those words memorized before going on to the second day of words. If they forget it’s okay put that word into the batch for the second day and treat it as it was a new word (always do this for words they don't remember or get wrong). Remember to repeat each word several times. Repetition is key in this method.

Make sure that the words are mixed up and not in the order in which they are read in the book. The goal is for your child to learn the words first and read the book second.

After completing all the words on the first page and the memorization is complete, they are ready to read the entire page in the book.

Can you imagine their face when they can read all by themselves? My daughter was ecstatic and she wanted to read the first page to everyone that she saw!! Which was great…talk about repetition ;)! They will probably be eager to move on to the second page but let them know they have to learn the words first to continue to read. Rewarding is excellent for such a time as this. They deserve some type of prize or recognition. Be creative you know what will make your child happiest.

When going on to the second page of the book review all the words from the first page and have them read the first page again. Again any words they have missed continue throwing them into the pile for review (you might want to mark these words and make games or talk about the word so that they will not forget it again). We all have those words that just never stood with us so please be patient!

One other nice feature of this method is also making it a vocabulary lesson. Tell them the definition of the word or if applicable show them the object that corresponds to the word (they will learn even faster doing this...object lessons are the BEST in my book).

It may take one week for them to read the first page or more. Be patient the end result is so rewarding and seeing their face light up when they can READ is a memory that will forever make an impression in your life. I'll never forget mine!

I hope this was helpful and parents please be patient, dedicated and consistent in doing this method either every day or every other day. You might want to set aside minimum 1 hour or more daily and set a goal on the number of words you'd like to complete.

**I would love to hear your success stories either using this method or any method that has helped you teach your child to read. We would love to post it on our blog for other parents to benefit**

Personalized Baby Books

2011-01-19T23:10:00.001-05:00

Should I Read to my Baby ... you say?

ABSOLUTELY!!

It may seem too early but reading to your baby early in infancy is the beginning of a lifetime love of reading. Even though they will not understand what you are saying, they are familiar with your voice and it brings a sense of safety when you hold them in your arms and give them your undivided attention.

You can read anything to your baby since they will not understand the content. The sound of your voice is the most important during these early stages. Personalized baby books with the child's name is even more creative because they will learn their name faster and respond to it at an early age. Remember constant repition is what works on younger children especially babies. However, if the child is fussy pick a better time to sit down and read.

We have several personalized baby books to choose from. We offer our My Baby Book featured above which records your babies birthdate, height, weight, hospital, and much more. It's a wonderful keepsake for storing and recording valuable information.

Once your baby starts holding objects and is aware of their surroundings they are ready for books. Choose books that introduce words and concepts in a unique fun way so that they will be able to retain what they are learning. Look for books that have lots of rhythym and rhyme and have colorful pictures of familiar objects and faces.

Make reading fun with your baby and don't feel like you need to read the entire page. Even one page or one page in a picture book is all it takes to bring the magic of reading into your child.

Tips on Potty training your toddler

2011-01-05T23:06:00.001-05:00

Potty training can be the most difficult and stressful time for parents and children alike.

The first step in potty training is knowing when your child is ready. Forget about the average age the child should be potty trained or that your neighbor's child is already trained or pressure from friends and family. Every child develops differently and as parents we should never force or pressure our children to learn if they are not ready. Potty training should be a pleasurable experience for both you and your child.

Does your toddler have the required verbal understanding? Can they listen and follow simple instructions? Are they showing signs of independence (ie wanting to pull up their own pants or getting dressed by themselves)?

Go shopping for potties better yet take your toddler with you so they can pick their own potty and stir up the excitement for wanting to use the potty. Always be excited every step of the way. If they see you are happy then they will want to keep that momentum going and make you happy.
Buy 2 or 3 potties (if you can) so you can have several in the house and close distance to you when you need it.

Get rid of the diapers and buy underpants and let them pick their own (maybe with their favorite character). Try not to go back to the diapers despite the accidents (maybe just at night and let them know that it is only for a little while).

Give your toddler PLENTY of liquids so they will use the potty more often and it will also give them lots of practice.

Reward them for their success. Buy a wall chart and give them a sticker to put on recognizing their reward and progress.

Read potty training books with them we recommend our personalized Elmo Bye Bye Diapers book (pictured above). What better way to learn than reading a personalized book with Elmo starring them as the star in the story. Not only will they love the book they will listen to what Elmo has to say about them in their very own personalized potty training book. This is a charming story featuring the classic Sesame Street gang.
Finally ask them if they need to use the potty. If they say no it's okay, with all the drinks they will soon need to go. We recommend taking them to the potty in short intervals during the day and let them sit for 2 or 3 minutes. Eventually they will go.

Don't give up or don't get frustrated if they have an accident. Never let them see you get upset or angry. It's okay and let them know they will do better next time. It's not what you say but how you say it that is very important when teaching toddlers any skill.

Happy New Year!

2011-01-02T23:45:00.000-05:00

On behalf of KD Novelties Personalized Children's Books we wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year's. What are your New Year's Resolution or Goals for the upcoming year?

Reading is one of the most important things to do with a child so why not make that priority this year to read more with your child and set aside some family reading time if you have older children. If your child is younger, picture books are a great start and ask questions about the pictures you see. You can turn a simple 5 page picture book into a learning educational tool.

Show excitement when it's time for reading. Everytime you pick up a book put a smile on your face and get excited. As you all know children repeat and react to things as they see adults do. Therefore, the next time your child sees a book watch and see how they will get excited. What great pride as a parent it is to see their face light up.

Did we convince you?

Make reading as part of your goals this year with your children; you will not regret it. Bring forth and SHARE the magic and love of reading.

Summer Activities for Kids from KD Novelties

2010-06-23T21:15:00.000-04:00

Now that school is winding down and for some it has finished, it is important to stimulate your child’s mind with fun educational activities. We have highlighted below some recommendations and some tips for great summer activities.

If you happen to be on the road fun educational car games are a must. For example have your child count how many red items they see outside or count how many traffic lights you come across. Our personalized music cd’s are also helpful and will keep them entertained listening to their name and hearing educational songs sung by popular characters. Check out our selection at http://www.kdnovelties.com/personalized-music/cat_9.html

If you’re on vacation tag along reading books and puzzles to stimulate their minds. Our personalized children’s books are the best because they are innovative, exciting and promote self-esteem (check out our large selection at http://www.kdnovelties.com/view-all-books/cat_8.html). Even while at the beach when children are wrapped up in building sand castles be creative and make it educational have them count the shovels tell them to hand certain colors to you. Have them practice writing their name in the sand and you can also explain what happens to the sand when it gets wet.

Set aside reading time at home or make a certain day of the week game time (make it educational and fun). Have the children tell you a summary of what they read or if you are reading to them have them explain what they have heard and their feelings about the story. When reading to a child you also need to be creative and change your voice for certain characters and read with enthusiasm especially for the much smaller children. They will see your love of reading and they will adapt it into their lives as well.

Visit educational venues such as the museum, the zoo, and the library (have them pick out their own books).

These are tips that we hope you find helpful and incorporate into your summer activities. Most of all be creative and have fun!

Have a safe and enjoyable summer from KD Novelties Personalized Children’s Books, Music and gifts. http://www.kdnovelties.com

How to get your kids to read and enjoy IT!

2010-03-17T22:27:00.000-04:00

With all the social media websites and electronic games, children have lost the desire to have quiet time and read a book. It is very important especially when they are still toddlers to instill a love of reading in your household. You have to allow your kids some freedom to do other things but always set a time for family reading time and never sacrifice that time. Be consistent; for instance pick a Friday night after dinner and always use that time for reading.

If you read to your child then make it fun and ask questions and make sounds for characters and/or animals in the story that way they can enjoy what you are reading to them. Hey, even make them laugh they will remember that and appreciate the story more. Make it enchanting and create a sense of excitement. Let them see how excited you are when you read a book or read to them.

If your child is a little older and can read to themselves then give them their time to do fun things but still set aside reading time and be firm with it. Personalized Children's Books is a great way for them to read something different and "cool" because they are the stars of the story. Our stories are not boring and are packed with adventure. Our personalized children's books are unique and they would want to share it with their friends.

Let them choose their own books and if they have a particular favorite character like Elmo of Sesame Street or even a superhero like Spiderman get them books relating to these characters. It's even better if it PERSONALIZED!
