What a lovely morning reading with the little ones and talking about early literacy thanks to Me Books Asia!

The tickets went so fast and our little room full of little ones were so eager and excited, I ended up sharing and reading them an extra book! ❤️

Did you know that early language exposure increases reading proficiency by third grade, which is a strong predictor of high school graduation and career success?

In a study, researchers found that preterm babies read to in the NICU had far stronger language skills at 2 years old compared to those that weren’t.

How then can we encourage reading from the start?

***

1. MAKE IT A HABIT
Set a consistent reading routine so your little one will come to know and love books. Winding down at bedtime w a story is one of our favorite times together as a family.

2. BE PRESENT
Part of the gift of being read to is the strong emotional bond that is created. Reading to your child and being fully engaged and present encourages optimal early brain development in not only language and listening proficiency but also in social and communication skills.

3. LET THEM LEAD
Notice what they notice and give them the freedom to explore the pages. Reading isn’t just about getting through all the text on the pages but is also about observing, asking questions, delving deeper, allowing conversation and critical thinking skills to strengthen as you read through the stories with them.

4. CHOOSE GOOD BOOKS
A well-written developmentally appropriate book makes a world of difference between a child being engaged and a book being left on the bookshelf. Look for themes that your little ones are interested in but also expand their world with titles of things that they might not only be curious in but also be ready to learn about.

One of the reasons we ended up reading the extra book was because as I was showing the parents an example of what I look for in a book, all the kids were riveted and asked for more!

5. HAVE FUN!!!
Make silly voices, be silly, be funny, be open and just enjoy the time together. Children are really good detectors of when you are faking it and when you are really enjoying it with them so let loose and have fun together.

Lead with love, if you have a love of learning and reading, if you enjoy reading together, if you nerd out over good books, your little one will definitely be enthralled too.

Episode 131, A Textual Analysis
===============================
We open with Char sitting too close to the screen who goes on to tell Bell not to sit to close to the screen. In the background is Purple Pony - not sitting too close to the screen and the only blameless character in this entire story. Bell ignores mom's instruction and makes a virtue of sitting too close to the screen by pulling faces. She gets so close she accidentally nudges the camera.
[The opening "Hi" was from later in the VOD and got pulled to the front to set up Char to fail.]

As Bell runs out of and back into shot, we get the first hint of the cooped-up energy that will power the following drama. A misunderstanding occurs between touching and moving - in the literal interpretation of a three year old, accidentally touching the cam isn't deliberately moving it. The potential for conflict increases.

Char rightly involves Bell in her hair drying choices and the shot finishes on Purple Pony exhibiting an expression that tells us what it takes to survive in this household; Pony's seen things we people wouldn't believe.

Char is attacked by her own domestic appliance, makes an appeal for sympathy but gets a wide Pony grin. She puts on a brave face, Bell attempts her first strangulation then possesses the stream, Char gives her first 'not like this' speech explaining why Bell and chores don't mix. Bell proves she and chores don't mix by jumping on freshly folded laundry which fully triggers Char leading to Act 2.

Act 2 - full Bell meltdown. Char's ultra-mom skills birth Bell off the bed and slowly out of the world of pain she created for herself but she's still full of "no". Char counters with breathing, hugging and drinking but Bell responds by banning her from talking to Chat. Char deploys an entire bookshelf plus water plus science in what is rapidly becoming turn based combat then Bell makes a fatal mistake. Instead of banning mommy from making animal noises she instead bans Chat from reading a book we can't see anyway (well, she is only three!). Bell is slowly running out of "no", Char corners her into talking about her feelings (scary, am I right fellas?).

Act3 - age check, strangle #2 and Bell's in possession again. Char counters with "hug" but Bell cruelly starts to follow her knowing full well mommy's got more used to losing followers than gaining them. Bed incursion and the stream is knocked flat, Char enters the fray but Bell kicks clean over her to floor the stream again - our vision's blurred: medic!. Then Bell shows how she did it by kicking her mommy but it's too late: we lost this one Chat. A knockout, two falls or a submission, them's the rules. Game over.
