Penelope Dyan

Hoppy Easter! Penelope Dyan Large Type edition

There is a reason for the Easter season, and while it is great fun to look for all the colored eggs and fun things the Easter Bunny might bring, there is an even bigger reason for the celebration of Easter. This book uses basic teaching skills, repetition of words from the Dolch reading word list, and rhyme, along with kid friendly colorful illustrations that will encourage your child to be creative. Let your child finish the rhyme, and let him name the characters he sees on the pages after he notices the word patterns presented in the book. This will reinforce his reading skills, and give you a chance to interact with your child as your child reads. It doesn?t matter if you think your child is already reading and therefore doesn?t need this kind of book, because that isn?t the point of the book. The point of this book, and of all Penelope Dyan books, is to promote four things 1) creativity; 2) discussion; 3) enjoyment of reading; and 4) fun! If you meet these goals with your child when it comes to reading, your child will love reading. If your child loves reading, your chid will learn and love learning; because learning will be associated with both the discovery of new things and fun!
