Learning multiple languages as a child isn’t as hard as it is when you’re fully grown as i’ve mentioned before and although auditory learning and visual learning combined is one of the better ways to go about teaching multiple languages I do believe that learning through reading is also a wonderful way to teach your child how to be multi-lingual. The "My First Spanish Word Book" is a great way to get started teaching your child Spanish when they already know English words as well as when they don’t. This book teaches with diagrams and pictures pointing to the appropriate picture and giving the word for that picture in both Spanish and English. The great

thing about this book in particular is that it can be used to teach children who already know English, children who don’t know English or Spanish or even Spanish speaking children who are trying to learn English! The book is divided in to multiple sections which are labeled in both English and Spanish with headers such as "All About Me" (Todo Sobre Mi) and "At Home" (En Casa). This book is recommended for children ages 4-8yrs; however, with parental supervision it

Bedtime is almost always the most dreaded time of the day for any child, unless, of course, you include naptime as well. Bedtime is especially frustrating for young children who don’t yet understand the importance of sleep and think that everything in the world is going on while they’re sleeping. "The Going-To-Bed-Book" by Sandra Boynton is a great way to get younger kids excited about bedtime though! This adorable board book is the story of an entire ark full of animals get ready for bed, taking their baths, finding their pajamas, doing their exercises, saying goodnight and brushing their teeth. Sandra Boynton knows exactly how to keep children

The Letterland ABC brand is a brand exclusive to the UK as far as I am aware; however, their books and activities can be purchased in the US via stores like Amazon and auction sites such as Ebay. The reason I posted the Letterland books today even though they aren’t as readily accessible to the US market is because I truly believe in their power to teach young children to grasp letters and the sounds those letters make. In my home we used the Letterland books to teach my younger brothers to read and I have witnessed firsthand the amazing ability of these books to really connect with children and get them to focus on their letters by |

attaching letters to fun characters with individual personalities. The Letterland books are focussed around the letters of the alphabet, each one being a character such as "Annie the Apple" "Robber Red" "Clever Cat" etc. Each character makes use of alliteration in their name making them easy to remember as well as making use of the individual letter sounds. Each character is perfectly drawn to create a sweet faced individual that your child is sure to remember. The Letterland ABC book is just the beginning of the Letterland series and if you take a look around you will find many other helpful Letterland products such as workbooks, a nursery frieze and many other books that make use of the individual letters!
I found today’s Letterland book via Amazon.com; however, you may find other books by searching around online at sites such as Ebay or simply other websites that focus on products in the UK, it doesn’t take long nor much extra postage to ship a book overseas.

"Belinda lived in a little white house, With a little black kitten and a little gray mouse, And a little yellow dog and a little red wagon, And a realio, trulio little pet dragon." Custard the Dragon was one of my favorite books as a child, not only because of the great illustrations of the lovable characters but also because the words were so easy to remember sicne the rhymed. Rhyming books are a wonderful way to start children in to reading, simply because they can remember the words and follow along as you point out the words. "Custard the Dragon" is a great book written by Ogden Nash, a well known children’s author. This wonderful book tells

the story of a little girl, Belinda, who lives in a house with all of her pets, one of which is a cowardly dragon named Custard who gets picked on by all the other animals in the house for being such a big sissy. The story tells of Custard’s amazing "save the day" actions that save Belinda and her house from a burglar that Custard manages to catch in the act! Custard the dragon also features in a sequel book "Custard the dragon and the wicked knight" so if you love this one make sure to check out the sequel!
