1. Go to http://pbskids.org/clifford/stories/index.html and choose a kids story to read/watch.2. Answer the following questions:
- What do you notice about kids books that makes it unique compared to other types of stories?
- Most children books use tools (this can be anything from sentence structure to images) help beginning readers learn to read and follow the story even when they don't know how to read all the words of the story yet. What tools could you use in your story?
Children books are always positive and easy to follow.
ReplyDeleteThey really make the word understand able so the kids can understand it.The book had a lot of pictures.I think you can use like probably like break down the word and then write the whole word out so they get it
ReplyDeleteThe books can be about anything from walking to the park, or getting ready for the day. One other thing about children books is, the writing has to be simple.
ReplyDeleteChildrens' stories are often written in choppy, simple sentences. The dialect is short, and easy to understand. Pictures, if any, are simple and colorful. Depending on the story, the pictures could also be wonderful pieces of art. "The Twelve Dancing Princesses" is a fine example, http://www.goldenwoodstudio.com/uploads/images/catalog_src/the-twelve-dancing-princesses-2_src_1.jpg , Ruth Sanderson tells a story in simple words, barely explaining the surroundings or setting of the story, and simply gave wonderfully executed pictures to the child.
ReplyDeleteSometimes childrens' books have no explanations as to where the characters are, leaving everything up to the imagination of the child. Often, the characters have no names and their looks are unexplained, that way the child could put him or herself in the place of that character. To make it easier for the child, the story normally follows one person, or creature that catches the interest of most kids. Story flow is relatively simple, staying mostly in past or present tense, and if it does jump tenses it is when a character is remembering something earlier on in the book. Characters have simple names that can be easily pronounced.
Compared to adult or teenager books, childrens' books are short, and much more easy to understand. Any hidden meaning is explained later on in the book as a closing paragraph or a moral. Most adult books do not include pictures, and are mostly filled concepts that take age to understand.
Its colorful and grabs the attention of kids and keeps them interested i think i can use bright colors and friendly looking things for the kids
ReplyDelete-I watched the "Tummy Troubles" one and it is unique because I'm pretty sure that there aren't any other books or shows that are about a giant, talking, red dog.
ReplyDelete-Don't use huge words but if you use huge words, use words around it to help describe the word.
1. Kids books simplify everything and use little words.
ReplyDelete2. I can make my pictures pretty self explanatory and use easy to read words.
1) They are very simple and the pictures say it all and every thing is very easy.
ReplyDelete2)I could use pictures and easier words.
1. Because kids stories are more cheerful than other books.
ReplyDelete2. I could use pictures, arrows to point to things in the picture, and I could use words.
There isn't as many sentences. They are very innocent. Always have a good moral or shows good morals or problems when you do something you are not supposed to
ReplyDeleteYou simple sentances
In kids books there are a lot of pictures. Also there are a little bit of words. Another thing is that kids books are more interesting to read.

They Use simple language for young readers to understand. also they usually have pictures in them.
ReplyDeleteThe audio can help children read and follow the story. also the pictures will help them.
- What do you notice about kids books that makes it unique compared to other types of stories?
ReplyDeleteThat it was simple, short, and something good to read, plus it had pictures.
What I notice about children books is that they are very short and have a simple straight forward layout. Tools that I plan to use are images and simple sentences, so that the younger children can better understand and follow easier.
ReplyDeleteWhile kids books compared to other types of stories is that in kids books that always have a picture and three or less sentences on each pages.Tools that you could use is having a picture to see what the sentence below is talking about.Don't use big words that you know a beginner reader can't read.You can repeat words or have them rhyme.
ReplyDeleteWell I chose the story “A Leaf of Absence”. But what I couldn’t help but notice that the lesson of this story is a little.... Well basically, all the dogs have piles of leaves, and then T-Bone leaves and Clifford jumps into T-Bone’s pile. Clifford feels bad so they decide to find all of the leaves and put them back. So nothing is wrong with that, except for the line, “T-Bone thanked Clifford for taking care of his leaves” which implies that Clifford never told T-Bone what happened. So basically what it is saying is that if you do something wrong but cover it up so no one knows, then everything will be okay. Well if you have ever seen an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond, you know that that can end very VERY badly. In this book it’s just some leaves, but as the kids get older, if they don’t have some reinforcement, they may do a similar thing, but with more serious consequences. I don’t know what to think of that.
ReplyDeleteAnyways, this particular story does a little thing where parts of the text are red. When you click the text, the picture in the book changes. For example, the phrase “They all jumped into the pile of leaves”, when clicked, shows a picture of them jumping into the pile of leaves. I think that this connection with the picture and the words can help kids understand the true meaning of the words.
