Favorite Children's Book

Favorite Children's Book
Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by: Bill Martin, Jr.

This is my favorite children's book because it gives children a great appreciation for letters! It teaches children the letters of the alphabet in a fun manner, with rhyme and rhythm! I always read this book at the beginning of the school year and the kids always love it.

Check out this website for activities and lesson plans for this book!

Lilian Katz: -"As you consider whether to move a child into formal academic training, remember that we want our children to do more than just learn how to read and write; we want them to learn in such a way that they become lifelong readers and writers. If we push our children to start learning these skills too far ahead of their own spontaneous interest and their capacity, we may sacrifice the long-range goal of having them enjoy such pursuits."

    I find this quote so true. I had a child this past year who would panic if he thought he was "learning" or being "tested," so I often had to reevaluate how I assessed him and had small group because he wasn't ready for some of the activities.

    Felicia I have really enjoyed your blog. I am saving the suggested web sites to use with my highschool students as they plan their lessons for the preschool. I hope you continue this blog. You have been a wealth of information. Many thanks and I hope you continue your fight for the young children and our futures!
