By Victor Thomas

Science fiction , it is a popular topic among both the children and the elders; this creates the interest to come along with that. Nowadays lots and lots of books are been published in this topic. So to select a book for your child some considerations are to be taken care of.

• When you start to select a book just turn it to the middle and checkout the comprehension used in the book. Then compare that with your children’s knowledge. Without considering this you will not be able to choose a book for your child.

• You must think about the sensitivity of your child. Some children may dream of a monster while lying sleeping and some may not. This brings the difference between the children.

• Decide the violent content of the book. The book contains aliens, monsters and some strange characters and these characters may be killed. So you are in a stage to decide the maturity level of your child, and the maturity level is to be considered in advance.

• It is better to ask a librarian about the type of book you are about to buy. He may suggest some books with more fantasy things and with lots of fun. He may recommend some books or he could suggest some author names too.

• Suggest the appropriate books for kids as they grow older. Suggesting books meant for kids will limit there knowledge and the level of knowledge of your child will only be kiddish when he grows older. Thus giving advance books and the books meant for the elders to read will let them to improve their knowledge.

• The books from award winning companies and from the authors will fetch your child a lot of knowledge. Newbery and Caldecott award winner books will be more informative and this will gain your child knowledge.

• Nowadays internet search for each and every product is available. Internet has lots and lot of books especially on science fiction topics. You may also gather some information regarding books from there.

Parents Must Teach Children Fiction From Reality

Thirteen-year-old Harry is the hero of three books by Joanne K. Rowling and a student at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I think the Harry Potter books and movie were wonderful and so did my kids. I am tired of hearing people preaching about its all from the devil. Have you people ever heard of an imagination?

Every step a child takes toward learning to read leads to

- Learn how to handle books.

- Identify separate sounds in spoken language.

- Write words.

- Read simple books.

- Read simple books.

Look for Books!

The books that you pick to read with your child are very
important.
Introduce your child to books when she is a baby. Don’t be upset if at first your child chews or throws a book. When your baby becomes a toddler, she will enjoy helping to choose books for you to read to her. If your child has special interests, such as dinosaurs or ballerinas, look for books about those interests.

By hearing and saying rhymes, along with repeated words and phrases, your child learns about spoken sounds and about words. Show Your Child That You Read. Ask your child to get one of her books and sit with you as you read your book, magazine, or newspaper. It’s the reading that counts. Learning about Print and Books

Your child will begin to understand that the letters form words and that words name pictures. How Does a Book Work?

Children are fascinated by how books look and feel. When your toddler watches you handle books, she begins to learn that a book is for reading, not tearing or
tossing around. As your child becomes a preschooler, she is learning that When your toddler watches you handle books, she begins to learn that a book is for
reading.

You read a story from left to right of a page. Read the title on the cover. Let your child help turn the pages. It takes time for a child to learn these things, but when your child does learn them, she has solved some of reading’s mysteries.

Writing and reading go hand in hand. As your child is learning one, he is learning the other. Writing the letters helps your child learn about their different sounds. Reading in Another Language When your child first enters school, talk with her teacher. Teachers welcome such talks.

Baby and Books
By Virginia Lowe & Sophia Ton

children-and-books

It’s delightful, and a game all adults play with small children and books. However I want to make a case for actually reading the words as well. All babies’ understood vocabulary is enormously larger than their spoken.

Long before they can say the words, they understand them. By reading the author’s words, you as a parent are behaving in an unorthodox way.

As well as the story there are new words, new sentence structures, new ideas. “Uff uff me, or my heart will break!” (Many parents who do not read the words of stories will say or sing nursery rhymes, of course).

She enjoyed the language for itself - an aesthetic pleasure, fostering love of language. How will they ever learn new words unless they meet them? There was no picture on the page, but he pointed firmly to the words and said “bir”. He seemed to know already where the words were.

At first you will have to use techniques to prevent the page turning in lumps – I found pointing to the picture as you read the words kept the little one focussed, and kept the page down too.

A second child may even join in listening to the long book being read to the older child, so be introduced to CS Lewis or JK Rowlings.

Moominland Midwinter (Tove Jansson) was the first non-episodic ‘chapter book’ read specifically for him. ‘It is one story right through the book.’ Don’t underestimate your children – read them the words as well as playing the labelling game.

Baby Memory Book

Preserving Those Precious Memories

New babies require a tremendous amount of time and energy.

Plan Ahead

The best plan of attack, especially if you are expecting your first baby, is to fill out the baby book before he is born.

Obviously you don’t know his birth weight or have those tiny footprints yet, but a significant portion of most baby books contain information seemingly unrelated to your little bundle of joy.

The Early Days

Hopefully, you will feel much more rested a week or two after baby’s arrival, and can start using his sleeping time as your work time.

Birth weight and length, birth certificates, wristbands and hospital photos are now ready to take their place of honor in the baby book.

The Rest of the Year

Descriptive emails should be printed out and shoved into the book as well as extra copies of your digital pictures.
