Synopsis

A new book that makes reading a joy for the whole family

The ABC's of Making Reading Fun
Offers hope for anyone with a reading problem
Reaches out to readers of all ages

From cover to cover this delightful book is a treasure trove of unlimited activities designed to turn reading into a pleasurable experience not an academic struggle. Children relate immediately to the simple and easy approach to reading established in this book. Its vibrant colors and creative illustrations immediately capture the interest and arouse the curiosity of children of any age. Adults also have been known to be absorbed by the ABC's activities.

The comprehensive approach in The ABC's of Making Reading Fun makes it so much easier for parents to have fun assisting their children in becoming independent readers, as opposed to an academic chore that must be tolerated. Education continues to produce too many students with below average reading and thinking skills. This book offers hope that the author's unique approach will make reading and thinking fun.

Look for Dr. Ely's message to the readers. It brings to life a unique approach that helps children become effective readers. A "How to Practice the Say and See Activities" page follows. Here the author explains the details necessary for the child to get the most out of the book. The Say and See method, repeated for each alphabet letter, opens the door to the joy of reading.

Each page of the book has a large and vividly colored picture used for a Letter Find game that awakens interest and wows the reader. Next to each large picture on the page is an object tied to a bright red balloon that creatively establishes the Say and See activity. Children learn to Say each letter sound in the word, See the object and its proper spelling. This approach creates variety and anticipation from page to page. The Say and See method is consistently strengthened by repetition and practice with the introduction of the next alphabet letter.

In addition to the Say and See activities, there is an alphabet search game on all pages of the book. The large colorful pictures and games bring life to the impression that reading is fun.

Major benefits resulting from the illustrations include:

(a) Reinforcement of letter recognition of all the alphabet letters. Children search for a set number of letters hidden within colorful illustrations. The letters hidden in the scenes differ in sizes and are at various angles rather than the traditional letter placement as seen on the red balloon on the page. This added dimension of seeing letters in a surrounding context, rather than seeing them solely in isolation, awakens children's awareness of their environment. Parents and teachers can be assured that they have reinforced alphabet letter recognition in a fun and creative way.

(b) Endless possibilities of creative writing, listening and speaking activities. The various scenes allow children to quickly make new connections among the pages. These sensory relationships from the context expand children's comprehension skills because they learn to hook new information into their life experiences. The connections stimulated by the illustrations stretch young minds to make imaginative leaps that teach them to think "outside the book." Experiencing through the power of imagination will stay with them for a lifetime.

(c) The Say and See activities and the alphabet search game, with the letters hidden within the illustrations, engage children with hours of fun. As the child grows, the multi-sensory exposure will continue to strengthen e
