Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Ann Kennedy on behalf of Expert Village. We'll be looking at how to teach a child to read using big books and read alouds. Non fiction read alouds books part 2, wonderful opportunities in non fiction books to bring reality into a child's world. We see a beautiful child smiling and laughing and what is that watermelon. Ask a child we had watermelon or have you ever had watermelon. With my mouth (this is our mouth) I taste watermelon. How does a watermelon taste? It taste very sweet. Do you now the difference between the two different kinds of taste. If you have some sugar and you have some lemon let the child taste the sugar but don't make too much of how sweet and how good it is. With the lemon sake, that is a little bit different; some people say it's bitter. But I love lemon, it taste so good. You're also teaching good nutrition to begin with do not make too much of how good sees this is. You show them the taste you're learning in this particular book, now there is medicine. See her frown but medicine is good for you make sure so many concepts of how they think when they become adults or teenagers. It's based on how you teach them when they are young so even this frown would I really show you that, probably not. I'd say here is some medicine and medicine is good for us and maybe I'll make my own picture. Take a few minutes read through the books before you teach and imagine how you're effecting your own child by what you say. "
