Calling Doctor Amelia Bedelia by Herman Parish, like all of his Amelia Bedelia books, is hysterically funny. Parish's use of expressions confuse Mr. Rogers' maid, Amelia Bedelia, throughout the entire story. Poor, silly, Amelia Bedelia never realizes how confused she really is. She takes everything anyone says literally, so when her boss Mr. Rogers says "jump in the car", she thinks that he ...             Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog!, The85 reviews Mo Willems Hyperion Book CH, 2004 Great bonding book I read this series with my son over and over and over....and they are still funny to both of us.             Curious George and the Firefighters4 reviews H. A. Rey, Margret Rey HMH Books, 2004 Firetrucks AND a monkey...perfect for a toddler... My son loves the TV show Curious George, as well as the books, but this is by far his favorite, on account of his absolute obsession with fire trucks. There are many different pictures of fire trucks, unlike some other books where a fire truck might appear only on a single page--and there are also illustrations of part of the fire house (like the classic pole) and the uniform. Overall, I ...             The Book Whisperer: Awakening the Inner Reader in Every Child51 reviews Donalyn Miller Jossey-Bass, 2009 Realistic, Exciting, Engaging Although I am officially retired, I feel more involved in guiding students because I am teaching homebound students and tutoring. This book verified what I always did when I was in the classroom and gave me some new ideas. It even changed the way I thought about some things. I wish I could purchase this book for every teacher - new and old. It gives you a play-by-play method of setting up a ...             Where's the Poop?43 reviews Julie Markes, Susan Kathleen Hartung HarperFestival, 2004 Cute book, good start to familiarizing your child with the idea that everybody poops Cute book, lovely illustrations and lift-the-flap sections, which my toddler loves best. It's really surreal for an adult to to read it through, what with talking about pooping, encouraging your son to look under the flaps and then "great job!" he found the poop! LOL But it does depict natural settings, family closeness and does not go into anything more detailed than a simple pile of poop on the ...             Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons529 reviews Siegfried Engelmann, Phyllis Haddox, ... Fireside, 1986 Wonderful! We love this book! We started doing this when my daughter was about 3.5. And now she can sound out just about anything she wants to! It's amazing.             Bob Books Set 3- Word Families31 reviews Bobby Lynn Maslen Scholastic Paperbacks, 2006 Great for learning to read This set is just as great as the 1st two sets. Very simple sentences which helps give new readers confidence. Got my somewhat-disinterested child jump-started in this area.             Bob Books, Set 1: Beginning Readers138 reviews Bobby Lynn Maslen Scholastic, 2006 great set I think these books are great. While some complain that they are simple, both visually as well as on an interest level, I think that is where the beauty lies. The pictures are not the point of the story, the words are. The pictures are therefore simple, and not terribly distracting, yet there are enough clues to make it more than just boring words. The stories themselves are also simple, ...             The Very Hungry Caterpillar Board Book and Plush (Book&Toy)24 reviews Eric Carle Philomel, 2002 Pleased with everything except... I am very pleased with the product, it came in exactly as described and pictures, and you can't beat that for the price! The only thing that I did not like was how long it took to ship to me, although it was shipping within the estimated shipping dates - but I was hoping it wasn't going to be towards the latest estimated shipping date... Overall, I cannot wait to read and share this book with ...             Bob Books Set 5- Long Vowels13 reviews Bobby Lynn Maslen Scholastic Paperbacks, 2006 Excellent for long vowels As a 1st grade teacher, these books are indispensable for my emerging readers who still need a short, quickie book that allows them to focus their skills on basic decoding and sight words. The pictures are a delight and the kids feel very comfortable with these. The pictures really help the kids who are struggling with the vowels. Familiarity is key.             Teeth Are Not for Biting (Board Book) (Best Behavior Series)37 reviews Elizabeth Verdick Free Spirit Publishing, 2003 We LOVE this book! Our family loves this book! It addresses all the wonderful things that teeth can do, other than bite! We use this book at home and they read it to the class at school. Very helpful and highly recommended.             Reading with Meaning40 reviews Debbie Miller Stenhouse Publishers, 2002 A MUST HAVE for primary teachers! Debbie Miller is truly a genius! This book is such an easy read, you will get wrapped up in it. It's not written like a text book, rather a conversation with Debbie. She is passionate about teaching, which comes through on every page, with every anchor lesson she shares. I have seen Debbie in person, and she is amazing. This book will get you started - learning how to teach kids to THINK ...             Tools of the Mind: The Vygotskian Approach to Early Childhood Education (2nd Edition)4 reviews Elena Bodrova, Deborah J. Leong Prentice Hall, 2006 If You Don't Understand The Vygotskian Approach... ...look no further than this book. Even though reading Lev Vygotsky's own words in MIND IN SOCIETY is irreplaceable, most of us teachers have little time or patience to wade through that theoretical complexity. Thus, Bordrova and Leong give us an excellent way to both understand V's theory and how it applies to each set of early childhood age ranges. Personally, I the infant and toddler ...             Classroom Instruction that Works: Research-Based Strategies for Increasing Student Achievement33 reviews Robert J. Marzano, Debra J. Pickering, ... Prentice Hall, 2004 perfect condition. i ordered this book for class... received it very quickly, and it is in perfect condition. would shop here again. thank you!             The World of Dick and Jane and Friends (Treasury)19 reviews William S. Gray Grosset & Dunlap, 2004 wonderful for early readers I bought this book for my son. It was wonderful to watch him look forward to reading at night. I even caught him sneaking this book to bed. The words all build on each other and his confidence grew as he was able to read without assistance or with minimal assistance. This is a great way to get the Dick and Jane books since they are all bound together in one hardback book. The book is quite large ...             Where Is Boots?: A Lift-the-Flap Story (Dora the Explorer)13 reviews Kiki Thorpe Simon Spotlight/Nickelodeon, 2002 very nice and new book my niece is really going to enjoy this book she just loves boots and dora             Play and Learn French (Book + Audio CD): Over 50 Fun songs, games and everyday activites to get started in ...14 reviews Ana Lomba, Marcela Summerville McGraw-Hill, 2004 Very good! This is another (hop, skip, learn is another) great language product by Ana Lomba. The book has all the texts, and is organized by theme. It's very complete, but simple, with repetitions. The translations (for parents who don't speak French) are in the book, not the CD, another plus, as it allows full immersion. A few pictures accompany key words for each subject. It's a nice change from ...             You Read to Me, I'll Read to You: Very Short Fairy Tales to Read Together18 reviews Mary Ann Hoberman Little, Brown Books for Young Readers, 2004 You Read to Me And I'll Read to You Fairy Tales I teach Kindergarten and First grade and I love these books. They are perfect for children to practice voice, and pacing of reading with a friend, which takes the pressure off of them and makes it fun. The organization and print allows the children to do this work on their own. These books are so fun that I too enjoy taking parts when the children let me.             A Rainbow of My Own7 reviews Don Freeman Puffin, 1978 A classic, heartwarming tale for a boy OR girl! Let's face it: who doesn't love Don Freeman? His books are amazing and I loved many of them when I was little. I did not come across this one until about 6 months ago when I was shopping for my daughter. She is now 2.5 years old and this is the one book that she MUST hear (in addition to a few others) before she goes to bed every night. In fact, she has it memorized. It is about a little boy ...             Connect the Dots (Get Ready Books)4 reviews Barbara Gregorich School Zone Pub, 1994 Fun, Fun, Fun! My children just love this book. They go back to it time and time again. Solving the puzzles and getting to see the pictures is a real treat.(and it encourages problem solving and persistance.) I highly recommend this book for children between 2-5.              search for books achievement, activites, approach, awakening, bedelia, beginning, behavior, calling, caterpillar, childhood, classroom, education, everyday, explorer, families, firefighters, friends, increasing, instruction, language, lift-the-flap, reading, research, research-based, started, strategies, together, treasury, vygotskian, whisperer books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
