One of my goals in writing “What Kind Of Penguin Are You?” was to make it understandable and repetitive enough to helps children learn how to read it on their own. The “OWL SURPRISE” is something kids pick up right away, and are excited about it.
Below are a few reading tips from Children Learning Reading that many find effective.
I hope you enjoy them, and use them in your Story Time!

3 Tips to Teach Children How to Read

Learning to read at a young age is important for the development of the child. It helps them develop a better understand of their surroundings, allows them to gather information from printed materials, and provides them with a wonderful source of entertainment when they read stories and rhymes. Children develop at different rates, and some children will develop reading skills quicker than other children; however, what’s important is that as the parent, you are keenly aware of your child’s maturity and reading level to provide them with appropriate books and activities to help them improve.
As parents, you are the most important teacher for your children. You will introduce your child to books and reading. Below we have some tips to help you teach your child to read.

Teach Your Child How to Read Tip #1

Teach your child alphabet letters and sounds at the same time. Studies have shown that children learn best when they are taught the letter names and letter sounds at the same time. In one study, 58 preschool children were randomly assigned to receive instructions in letter names and sounds, letter sound only, or numbers (control group). The results of this study are consistent with past research results in that it found children receiving letter name and sound instruction were most likely to learn the sounds of letters whose names included cues to their sounds. [1]
When teaching your child the letter sounds, have them slowly trace the letter, while saying the sound of the letter at the same time. For example, if you were teaching your child the letter “A”, you would say:
“The letter A makes the /A/ (ah) sound.”
Then have your child say the /A/ sound while tracing the letter with his or her index finger.

Teaching a Child How to Read Tip #2

When teaching your child to read, always emphasize with them that the proper reading order should be from left to right, and top to bottom. To adults, this may seem so basic that anyone should know it. However, our children are not born with the knowledge that printed text should be read from left to right and top to bottom, and this is why you’ll sometimes see children reading from right to left instead – because they were never explicitly taught to read from left to right. When teaching your child how to read, always emphasize this point with them.

Teach Your Child How to Read Tip #3

Teach final consonant blends first. Teaching words such “at” and “and” can lead your child directly to learning words that rhyme with these. For example, for “at”, you can have:
Lat
Pat
Mat
Cat
Sat
Bat
Spat
Chat
For “and”, you can have these rhyming words:
Sand
Band
Land
Hand
Stand
Bland
Brand
Grand
and so on…
You can start teaching blends once your child has learned the sounds of some consonants and short vowel sounds. You don’t need to wait until your child has mastered the sounds of all the letters before teaching blends.
Learning to read is a long process, but it doesn’t have to be a difficult process. Broken down into intuitive and logical steps, a child as young as two years old can learn to read, and older children can accomplish even more.

How To Make a Paper Penguin Beak For YOUR Children

A Paper Penguin Beak for Children


Now that you have a copy of "What Kind Of Penguin Are YOU?", your little one might want to show off their creativity. Why not  discover what kind of Penguin they see themselves as? You can start by printing out this coloring penguin, and having your child draw on it and color it in.

Then you might want to get more 3-D and create a Paper Penguin Beak that they can wear around the house and flap their wings and shuffle their feet. Children (and adults!) love playing with things they've made, just like something you've cooked tastes better because YOU did it. Let's give your kids that fun too!

This is a great craft to get them engaged, and remind them of the different kind of Penguins in the book. You can also teach them about other kinds of birds along the way. Thanks to EHow for these great instructions:

Things You'll Need For Your Paper Penguin Beak:

  • Construction paper
  • Scissors
  • Glue

Instructions To Make a Paper Penguin Beak:

1. Fold one corner of a sheet of orange or yellow construction paper to the opposite side, matching up the edges evenly. You should have a triangular flap and about 2 inches of paper sticking out from the bottom on one side.

2. Cut off the 2 inches of paper that sticks out from the triangle. Unfold the triangle from bottom to top so that it looks like a diamond shape with a horizontal crease through the middle.

3. Put glue along two bottom edges of the diamond. Fold the triangle down along the crease again and press the edges together. Let the glue dry for a few minutes.

4. Fold the triangle in half from left to right. Crease well and unfold the paper. Make sure the crease forms a peak and the top edge of the triangle is still the folded edge.

5. Fold the top edge of the triangle down about 1/2 inch. Crease well. Punch a hole in both sides of the triangle under the small flap you just made.

6. Cut two pieces of string 1 foot long. Tie an end of one of the strings through the hole in one side of the triangle. Tie an end of the other piece of string through the other hole. Wear your construction paper penguin beak mask by placing the folded edge over your nose and tying the two pieces of string together behind your head


Now You Have a Paper Penguin Beak For Children!

SendOutCards? Here's What They Won't Tell You...


Is SendOutCards a Scam?SendOutCards- What They Won't Tell You...

There are a lot of people who have taken a look at SendOutCards and have asked if it's a scam, or if people are making any money.

According to them it's a great service, and easy to sell, so you might as well join. However, what you might not have heard is that just like everything else, it requires some work to build a SendOutCards business.

I first saw SendOutCards when someone gave me a random call and wanted to "Show me something"... I was suspicious, but I said sure.

Next thing I knew, I was making a greeting card for my wife over the web, and when I realized that the card was going to be sent through the REAL mail, I was like:

"AWESOME- SIGN ME UP!"

I just thought it was such a great way to make my wife or anyone else feel great- I mean, who gets cards anymore? I also saw what a great tool it would be for any business trying to get attention. But then they said I could make money by telling other people about it!

 "AWESOME- SIGN ME UP!"

So then I called some friends who said they wanted to make some money and talked to them about it...

They weren't into it.

 I talked to some other people... They weren't into it either.

Then my sponsor asked me something: "Bones- did you TALK to them, or did you SHOW them? Isn't that how YOU saw it?" Well that changed everything!

SendOutCards- Show and Tell

Try SendOutCardsSHOWING people and having them send a card is the most effective way of helping people see what a no-brainer it can be- for the right person.

Here's your BEST way to Make Money with SendOutCards:

Have people who ALREADY HAVE A BUSINESS send a card on the system, and then ask if they'd like to join as a customer, or as a distributor.

And if you want to do it automatically, I use THIS SYSTEM to do it.

So now, I DO NOT "talk to people" about it, I SHOW them how it works, and let the system to the work.

I've made money with it, and it remains one of my favorite services on the web. I HIGHLY recommend you get started today, DO NOT TRY TO TALK PEOPLE INTO IT, and instead SHOW them how we can all make people feel great and make some money doing it!

SendOutCards is a great way to make people feel great, help businesses market, and to make money from home, even if it does take some work...

Sounds good to me- by now, you think so too, don't you?

Mandy Evans Asks: “What YOUR Emotional Options”?


Emotional OptionsDid you know that every second of your life is filled with "Emotional Options"?

That high-faluting question is actually super-simple and obvious, but I had never considered it until I read Mandy Evan's book "Emotional Options".

You know I'm a big reader, and after reading this powerful and simple book (It's only 50 pages), I became Facebook friends with Mandy and really enjoy her postings.

Speaker, writer, coach and seminar leader, Mandy Evans teaches people a VERY FAST process that she calls "The Option Method" to help people BE HAPPIER. She is a contributing author to four books by Joe Vitale including bestsellers, “The Attractor Factor” and “The Key.” The are several videos of the two of them discussing life and happiness, and he often credits her for his growth:
Joe Vitale Introduces Mandy Evans

My copy of "Emotional Options" is highlighted all over the place, and I even DOUBLE starred this passage:

"To believe I need something requires, by definition, that I also believe I cannot be okay without that something. It may be an object, or an experience that I desire. In this view of reality, if I don't get it, that very not-getting threatens my well-being, my hopes for happiness, my ability to be okay. When i use un-happiness in order to help myself get what I want, or to get you to give me what I want, I live in that need. That experience is self-extinguishing- it is the state of non-being. The very thing I do to help myself cripples me, choking the life force and my ability to create." I know- it sounds like a lot, but by the time she gets there, it's pretty profound.

Anyway, I hope that you take the time to look Mandy up, get some of her work, and help yourself BE MORE HAPPY by exploring your "Emotional Options".

Barry Manilow wins Best Segue Ever Award


You Ask Why I'm A Barry Manilow Fan?

Because he just won the Best Segue Ever award from me!

Last night I went to see BARRY MANILOW in concert at the St. James Theater with my mom.
It was a GREAT show; he was so crowd-pleasing, humble, and fun! A true professional with an amazing catalog.

My mom used to listen to his records when I was little, and they all stuck with me. So, when the chance came up for us to go together, it was a really nice thing I could do with her, and we had a wonderful time together. Here's my cute mom:


He was such a professional, I had no choice but to make this awesome quote that he made last night, (paraphrased a little bit by me).

They gave out glow sticks, I sang along with all of the over-50 crowd, and it was great. Someone really oughtta start remaking his stuff- I think the emotionality of his songs is still very powerful- Sad, depressing, but also uplifting and exciting. Great Job Barry!
