It is a good rule of thumb to always check books for correct.
readability so that the child is learning at the proper pace and retaining the appropriate.
information for their age and grade. Readability can also be used to test what level a child.
is capable of reading on, i.e. above or below their grade level. Making sure a book is on a.
child's reading level will better ensure that the child will be able to recall the information in.
the future. Readability should always be taken into consideration when choosing a book.
for a child to read.
Children can better recall information when they have a visual image with which to.
associate it. "Piaget believed that the third stage of learning, concrete operations period,.
lasts from age seven to eleven. In this stage, children learn through experience and still.
rely on seeing things visually" (Brisbane 31). In compliance with this, we will be creating.
visual aids to go along with the story. Our visual aids will be boxes with scenes from the.
story painted on each side. In order to keep their attention on one specific scene, all of the.
other scenes will be hidden by detachable fabric. To bring the story to life and keep the.
children interested, various facial expressions and voice changes will be used while reading.
the story. Also, to add to the visual experience, all of the members of our group will be.
wearing striped shirts. We will be wearing these shirts because the main character in our.
book is covered in stripes. Other educators, including Maria Montessori, have done.
research that supports the idea that children learn best when all five senses are engaged in.
the learning (Brisbane 31). In our presentation, we will be giving the children an.
opportunity to color bookmarks with a scene from the story, enabling them to express.
visually what they comprehend audibly. This is allowing them to use many of their senses .
for learning including touch, sound, and sight.
