For what reason ZOG is a suitable storybook for little children?

From our point of view, this storybook is appropriate to tell for the children while we are showing the ilustrations to them. Another reason is that the ilustrations attract to them due to the pictures and the colours. The topic of this book could be very motivating for the chirldren because it appears some characters like dragons, princesses or knightes and it has an unusual end in which nobody dies. Also they can learn some values such as the aid to the others, the constancy in the work or the friendship. This book can develop some learning strategies like anticipate due to the cover of the book. We can work activities before, while and after telling it. To sum up, they can also identify themselves with the characteres of the story, for instance the dragons are growing like the children.

Reader of Charlie and the chocolate factory

Charlie and his family live in a small wooden house outside the town. The house has 2 rooms, but only one bed for all of them. The four grandparents sleep in the only bed because they are too old and tired. Charlie and his parents sleep on the floor in the other room. This house is too cold in the winter, but it´s warm in the summertime.

 

Charlie´s father works in a toothpaste factory and he doesn´t earn enough money to live well all of them. So they are too poor and they can´t buy enough food. They always eat cabbage soup, but Charlie dreams with a chocolate bar. Once a year, on his birthday, he gets a chocolate bar.

 

Near Charlie´s house there is an enormous chocolate factory, called Wonka´s factory. It is the most famous in the world. The inventor of the factory is Mr. Willy Wonka. This factory makes the most spectacular and fabulous chocolates of the world.

Inside this web page I really like this online game for infant education:

The reason why I have choosen this website is because I see it very useful and interesting. Children will learn by playing for instance the alphabet and also they will deal with some animals of the zoo. In this resouce you can also choose the activities, depending on the age of your child. It´s a way of using the ICT while they are learning.
