Early Literacy Is a Top Priority for Parents of Young Children
There are various responses that can be seen when a kid would start attending their first day in school. Some would be excited about it and could not wait for the following day to see their classmates and teachers. However, there are a percentage of young students who are reluctant and hesitant if they are going to adapt to what the school teaches and sets forth. In more cases, instead of a worthwhile experience, it causes them fear and anxiety. This is the purpose of early literacy programs that the learning care group tries to establish, not just for kids who are happy in going to school, but most importantly, to other kids who care less about it.
Parents would have to play an important role in inculcating early literacy to these kids. Aside from the regular subjects that they are going to take such as basic arithmetic, reading, and writing, there are other activities that would help them develop their individual personality, which is more in dealing and socializing with other kids like them. It targets psychological improvement, which is the epitome for them in becoming a better individual and citizens in the society. Parents could not see it, but this is the vision that Learning Care Group wanted to inculcate has also been experienced by those parents who have let their children enrolled to their program. They have seen the great difference from other kids who has just went straightly to regular schools wherein their emotional, mental, and psychological aspects are not prepared.
Educational Books for Young Children
In the last decade, various studies have proved that children, who listen to stories from their parents at an early age, tend to become avid readers as adults. All parents should spare at least 20 minutes to read out to young children. Based on the reading level of the child, 20 minutes should cover about 2-4 good stories. However, the best part is, parents can always break up the time and read out three to four times, 5 minutes each.
Further research also suggests that students with better reading scores were more likely to have newspapers, magazines, and other books in their home. At the same time as it is important to have periodicals in your house, you must know how to choose the best books for your children. We have formulated a few tips to help you choose the right books for children, in accordance to their age.
A few books will help your children to develop confidence and morals, as they join along with a repetitive rhyme. On the other hand, some books would help your children develop a sense of imagination. For an instance, there are fairy tales, talking animals and other fantasies. It has been observed that books with familiar people, objects and events are often reassuring to children whereas books about unfamiliar subjects can excite them about newer places and ideas.
Books about familiar objects, people, and events are reassuring to young children, while books with unfamiliar topics can excite them about new ideas and places. You must place these books in a section that is easily accessible by young children. Such a way, they can easily open their favourite book and enjoy the pictures or try to read it themselves. Books for children can be a little expensive at times; therefore you can look for booksellers or book stores on the internet. These places often run specials or have bargain sections.

CHILDREN'S STORIES. The editor of a London literary journal was recently inviting men and women in prominent positions in public life to name for publication the books of their childhood. So far as I observed, none of the halfhundred or more who responded gave Blue Beard, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, or any of the others in the same category that follow here. But I am none the less convinced that these old-time favourites, not yet unknown, though familiar to city children in the present generation mainly in their variegated and fantastic Christmas pantomime form, were in Scotland and England alike in the last century more essentially the books of childhood than any others known and read beyond the walls of the school-room. The travelling stationers and packmen carried them in their thousands, in chapbook form, into even the most remote parts of the country, where they were bartered for and explored with avidity. In many quarters, indeed, they were so familiar fifty years ago that the books on occasions could be dispensed with, and the elder members of families would recite the stories from memory for the delectation of the younger fry, when all foregathered in a crescent before the kitchen fire to wear out the long winter evenings. In this manner, under the dimflickering light of an "oilie cruizie," in a straggling village in Perthshire, did I learn first of Blue Beard and Jack the Giant Killer, and many another hero of chapbook literature. And my experience, I am sure, was by no means singular. Rather, I feel certain that while telling thus my own, I am expressing no less truly the experience of many thousands of men and women now beyond middle life who similarly were born and bred in any rural parish in Scotland. And, oh, the weird fascination of it all! There was no doubti...

The moon is high. The sea is deep.Boynton's inimitable animal characters have graced the pages of scads of picture books over the years. She has an extraordinary knack for knowing what appeals to small children: simple rhymes, goofy animals in goofy settings, and sweet, comforting stories. This book, along with her many other board-book titles (Moo, Baa, La La La!, But Not the Hippopotamus, and others) will surely remain a favorite. (Baby to preschool) --Emilie Coulter

Top 10 Childrens Books
Reading to your children is an important part of their growth and development. As your kids grow they will want to read books on their own, but you can still share the stories and adventures with them by discussing what they have read. Knowing which books are highly recommended for younger readers will help you and your child choose from among the many selections that are available.
Here is the Top 10 list of Children’s Books:
The Tale of Peter Rabbit is now a story that is more than 100 years old. This Beatrix Potter classic still amuses and delights children and parents. Unlike some of Potter’s other stories this tale was first included as part of a letter that she wrote to a child who was ill. Potter hoped the humor of the story would help the child forget his illness for a bit and hurry him along the road to recovery.
Goodnight Moon written in 1947 by Margaret Wise Brown.
This charming book with its gentle poetry and colorful illustrations has been a favorite for generations of children. Today many new parents have fond memories of this book and enjoy being able to experience Brown’s tender words once more as they read it to their own children.
Curious George is a series of books written and illustrated by Margaret and H.A. Rey. Although the 1st Curious George book appeared on the market more than 60 years ago the popularity of this funny, inquisitive little monkey has never waned. This remains a top selling children’s book and Curious George has spawned movies, cartoons and a host of other popular merchandise.
Love You Forever is a book for children as well as adults. This book was written for children to enjoy but the sentiment and devotion that is expressed hits home with readers of all ages. Author Robert Munsch created a book that was first published in 1986 but you can be sure that it will stay on the Top 10 list for many years to come.
Although you can see the movie, Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak is best enjoyed in its original written form. This 1963 book has become a childhood classic and is one that kids take great delight in hearing at bedtime. Skeptics originally thought that the story about wild monsters and a little boy would cause nightmares but their fears proved to be both unfounded and widely exaggerated. This is now a favorite book for children around the world.
The Cat in the Hat was first written during the 1950s and its popularity with children continues to this day. Dr. Seuss books have the ability to connect with parents and kids and of all his many stories it is The Cat in the Hat that has become the best known of all. No one is able to resist the colorful drawings, the wacky characters and the rhymes that are created with “nonsensical” Dr. Seuss words.
The Polar Express is another of the more recent books that makes it to the Top 10 listing. Chris Van Allsburg is the author of an easy to read, but very meaningful story that fascinates parents and children alike. Beautiful illustrations accompany the words and everyone can enjoy this book that reminds us all to keep our dreams, hopes and beliefs alive. If you want to share a book with your child that will also spark your own inner child to life then The Polar Express is the one you should choose.
Charlotte’s Web is another favorite childhood book that has retained its popularity for more than half a century. This is a book written by EB White and the ideas and lessons it contains are still as fresh and heartfelt today as they were in 1952 when it was first published. The story of Wilbur the lonely pig and Charlotte the wise and caring spider teaches all readers the importance of friendship, love and compassion for others.
Winnie the Pooh was written early in the 20th century by AA Milne. This book depicts the many adventures of a carefree, roly-poly little bear and his companions. The stories about Pooh’s adventures delight both parents and children as they read about the bear, Christopher Robin and the many other animals that live in the 100 Acre Woods.
During the 1990s author JK Rowling began writing Harry Potter. This was the first of a series of children’s books about a boy wizard and his friends. These books would go on to become international best sellers and transform the lives of millions of children. Suddenly kids wanted to read books instead of playing games on the computer and Harry Potter became a true wizard of the first degree as far as many proud parents were concerned.
One of these books will be the perfect choice when you want to share quality time with your children. This list contains stories that have proven to be popular with readers of all ages but they have all been written to appeal to the imagination and heart of a child. The dreams, fun and carefree nature of those childhood years are captured in the pages of each of these books and you and your family can enjoy the stories and adventures any time you wish.

How to Write Your Own Children’s Books
Alright now. The most important thing for a children book is to make a character that kids can relate to. For example, Little Bill and Franklin are always getting into some trouble. They’re always having adventures and eating snacks with their friends. So make a character or a group of them that are always having fun adventures and then later have snacks with them. Name the character after your child or younger sibling. However, for now let’s name him, Max. Now the next thing to do is describe to the readers what Max is like. Tell them what’s his hobbies are, what’s his favorite food, how old is he, does he have family and friends, and much more. Again your younger siblings or kids pick the character is like. Make him sound like a kid. For example, Max is five years old and he’s into skate boarding and soccer. He can do tricks that kids his age only dream about. He loves getting into mischievous things. The next step is what’s the plot of the story? Is Max on an imaginary adventure where he fights aliens from another planet then later on becomes friends with them, is he on verge from saving his parents from a mad scientist, or his he helping his mother make cookies or a cake, or something else? For example, Max and his mother were in the kitchen making dinner when suddenly five skunks dressed as ninjas stormed into the kitchen with carrot shaped swords in their hands. After all is done, time for the title of the book. Make the title be related to the book and don’t make the title on your own. For example, Max the Five Year Old Superhero! Finally, after you and your younger siblings or child finish making the book, the best part comes. Get it published! Also put the young child’s name for the author. This might be the building block for the child’s future. And watch if the book is real good, you guys can continue doing it making it a family tradition.
How Jean M. Auel Hook Me:The Earth?s Children Book Series
I really love reading, because it is my passion. It is my empty shield that every time, I need to take a break from pain and stress, I may just get my pocket books, and have a ride nowhere, depends on where my reading has taken me into. There are different books I’ve reading, such as reader’s digest, which I love so much too, in fairness, work of Anne Rice, Virginia Andrews, the writer of the novel about Sacagawea, other authors of life and family novels and lastly but not the least, my loved Jean M. Auel in her Earth’s Children, the series book of Ayla and Anjolar. This story is really fascinating me. It made me cry, laugh, angry and in-love too? Of course, I am always in-love.
What makes me interested with the story is that, I’ve also learned about the characteristic of animals. Are those all true? I wish, he he he am doubt, sorry. But I want to be a female, lion. I wish too, that the story of Ayla is really true. She such an admirable woman, with courage, strength and persevere with all the pain she has been encountered. I can even relate to her, but not all because she also has a character that I don’t like somehow. Anjolar in other hand is a kind of man who is womanizer, stubborn and hard to get with Ayla. Sometimes, it makes me dislike him. And even, portraying someone, who always hurt me and made me cry, yet I loved so much. Sigh, where is he?
Jean M. Auel in other hand has a talent. Wow! I wish I can be a writer like her, but don’t wanna be equally good to her, because she’s really good. I like the way, she presented the story, that it really made me impulsive and compulsive. When Ayla has moving something for emergency, my feet also were moving and even made my breath difficult, while reading the five book series. But there are also parts of the story, which I don’t like, the sensual part. It is very much demonstrative that it made me to skip it though I wish I don’t. But in general they’ really are good. Jean M. Auel, means a talent of writing novels.
I don’t want to forget someone, named Karsten from Germany too. He’s a good man, a stranger but being nice to me, because he sent to me the fourth book of Jean, “The Plains Of Passage.” Thank you my friend, wherever you are and whoever you are, I am so grateful and been thankful to you for giving me such beautiful book, and also candies that you wanted me to eat, while reading. I hope you’re in good health. Honestly, I read the book for just a day.
Well, all the novels that I had been read are beautiful, however the work of Jean M. Auel has really capturing my heart. It gave me information about other things, especially about nature, animal nature, the people at the early age, their characters, their way to survive, racial discrimination and a lot more. It is informative and seems reality. The earth’s children series of Jean M. Aule are books of knowing about people from the other side of the world, the mammoth which even I haven’t able to see them personally it seems I had seen them already.
You will be in-loved with Jean M. Auel too, when you tried to read her work. Because after reading them, I really in-loved with her and admired her so much. This was how Jean M. Aule hooked me into her works.
