Read by Picture Fairy Tales: Learn to read

Helen Winter

Summary

I call this series “Read by Picture” since I am targeting little readers. I 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.

Although children may have developed reading skills, they still find joy in reading passages where certain words are substituted with images, viewing it as an additional reward or a special treat. 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 e-book are changed to pictures. Each story has a pictured vocabulary list at the beginning. The e-book includes 3 famous fairy tales: The Wolf and Three Little Pigs, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, and the Gingerbread Man.

Great e-book for non-English speaking children to learn and remember new words in a fun game-based reading activity.

For any child who has ever felt unsure about the kind of squirrel they truly are. 
Allie is the only albino squirrel in all of Waverly Woods. Being the only one with white fur makes her feel different and unsure of herself.

The One Who Loves You the Most

medina

I have never felt like I belonged to my body. Never in the way rhythm belongs to a song or waves belong to an ocean.  
 
It seems like most people figure out where they belong by knowing where they came from. When they look in the mirror, they see their family in their eyes, in their sharp jawlines, in the texture of their hair. When they look at family photos, they see faces of people who look like them. They see faces of people who they’ll look like in the future.  
 
For me, I only have my imagination.  
 
But I’m always trying. 
 
Twelve-year-old Gabriela is trying to find their place in the world. In their body, which feels less and less right with each passing day. As an adoptee, in their allwhite family. With their mom, whom they love fiercely and do anything they can to help with her depression. And at school, where they search for friends.  
 
A new year will bring a school project, trans and queer friends, and a YouTube channel that help Gabriela find purpose in their journey. From debut author medina comes a beautifully told story of finding oneself and one’s community, at last.
