Have you ever quit because you struggled with something? What do you do to keep from giving up? See what Eddie The Elephant shows us we can do not to quit trying!
Eddie The Elephant is on a quest to give his very best today. What different activities will he try, and will he succeed at them? Come along and learn the letter Qq with Eddie as he sees what happens when he doesn't give up!
"Eddie The Elephant Does Not Quit Trying" is for parents and teachers that want to do more than teach the letter Qq to preschool-aged children. It's for the parents and teachers that want to set the stage for children to fall in love with reading without having to struggle to keep them engaged and focused as they learn the letters of the alphabet. Our stories are both fun and engaging-children will want you to read it to them over and over, reinforcing the lessons they've learned in the process.
When "Eddie The Elephant Does Not Quit Trying" is combined with the customized story-based worksheets found inside the "Eddie The Elephant Does Not Quit Trying Workbook", you'll have no problem getting your preschooler to focus and complete the activity sheets. Your child's experience will be a stress-free one-they'll feel like they are living out a part of the story rather than "doing schoolwork." The workbook features dozens of activity pages that follow the story, allowing you to immerse your child in Eddie's world as they improve pen control, retain new words from the story, and learn to connect those words with images that are featured within the pages.
With these advantages supporting you, you'll easily be able to give your child as much time on task as they need before moving to the next letter of the alphabet. The goal is not just to teach your child the alphabet, but to prime them for enjoying the experience of learning, a trait that will help them for the rest of their life. This is of especially vital importance for the skill of reading, as it is arguably the first key to unlocking success later on in adulthood.
Many parents that are ready to start teaching their child the alphabet mistakenly believe that they don't have the power to control whether or not their child is interested in learning. Thankfully, this isn't true. Teaching through stories, especially at an early age, increases both active participation and listening skills, it also creates opportunities for children to form a "bond" with the characters that will help them to recognize those characters in other stories later on.
By introducing the characters in our books to your child, you'll be able to:
- Teach Lasting Lessons - Introduce important concepts such as kindness, patience, problem-solving, and politeness through a wide range of characters
- Expand Memory - increase your child's ability to comprehend and retain the new words they learn throughout the story
- Strengthen Phonics - reinforce new sounds and deepen the connection between words and images
- Foster Engagement - Instill a love for learning in your child that will serve them for the rest of their life
So, if you're ready to set the stage for your child to fall in love with reading, then "Eddie The Elephant Does Not Quit Trying" is what you've been looking for!
