Beginning to Read reconciles the debate that has divided theorists for decades over what is the "right" way to help children learn to read. Beginning to Read reconciles the debate that has divided theorists for decades over the "right" way to help children learn to read. Drawing on a rich array of research on the nature and development of reading proficiency, Adams shows educators that they need not remain trapped in the phonics versus teaching-for-meaning dilemma. She proposes that phonics can work together with the whole language approach to teaching reading and provides an integrated treatment of the knowledge and process involved in skillful reading, the issues surrounding their acquisition, and the implications for reading instruction.

We offer the easiest way to make reading books with children a pleasure, even for those children who listen to reading reluctantly. With the usual type of reading, a child is a passive listener, while with "reading by picture", he or she becomes an active participant. Even if children can already read, they are happy to read texts where some of the words are replaced by pictures and perceive it as a bonus or a prize. It is more important to receive such bonuses for children who are just starting to read, or for whom reading still requires effort. A small child can only voice words represented by pictures. This "reading" not only makes kids a full participant in the process but also teaches them to reconcile the words of the picture with other words in the sentence. Older children may try to read words from a vocabulary list that appears before the text. A child who has begun to read will be able to enjoy reading the entire text. If you are reading to your little one, please read slowly. Let your child think about the sentence, find the right word and enjoy the reading process. Some words in this book are changed to pictures. Each story has a pictured vocabulary list at the beginning. The book includes famous fairy tales & rhymes: - Five Little Monkeys - To Market, To Market - Hush, Little Baby - Miss Polly Had a Dolly - Three Little Kittens - Pop Goes The Weasel - The Farmer in The Dell - Smiling Girls, Rosy Boy - I Had a Little Hen - Hey Diddle Diddle - The Wolf and Three Little Pigs - Goldilocks and the Three Bears - The Gingerbread Man Great book for non-English speaking children to learn and remember new words in a fun game-based reading activity.
