Limit the amount and kind of television your children watch. Seek out educational television or videos from the library that you can watch and discuss with your children. If your own reading skills are limited, consider joining a family literacy program. Ask a librarian for picture books that you can share with your child by talking about the pictures. Tell family stories or favorite folktales to your children. Consider giving books or magazines to children as presents or as a recognition of special achievements. Special occasions, such as birthdays or holidays, can be the perfect opportunity to give a child a new book. Connect your children with their grandparents and great-grandparents. Encourage them to read books together, talk about growing up, tell stories, and sing songs from their generation.

Extractions: Baby Toddler Young Child Kindergartner ... Main Baby and Toddler The materials you need in order to create a "literate home" at this stage are minimal, but the way that you use them with your child is important. Babies and toddlers need to explore books, letters, and writing materials as they begin to figure out the special significance of these objects. What they need most, however, is for their parents to talk and listen to them. Through talking and communicating with their parents and caregivers, they build a strong language base, the ability to both understand and use language, that will support their literacy development. What You Need Children's Books Babies and toddlers come to love books and view them as a part of their world when you provide easy access and opportunities to explore them. For young babies, vinyl or cloth books that are durable and soft enough for chewing are suitable, while toddlers will enjoy board, paperback, and hardcover books. Be sure to include a variety of kinds of books in your child's collection, including nursery rhymes, ABC books, informational books, and storybooks. You can look for bargain children's books at used bookstores and yard sales or purchase books at great prices through monthly book clubs offered through child care centers or schools.

Extractions: Myanmar folk nursery rhymes Dictionary defines nursery rhymes as "poems" or songs for small children." It is a simple and apt definition. After children have grown up to walk, talk, imitate and memorise everything and anything they come acrosss, they have reached the initial stage of tender learning. In Myanmar, rural folks in the past nursed their small children at home. There was no nursery centre nor nurse maid to train and look after the small ones as to-day. The mother herself or any female member of the household who liked nursing children would take care of the small children. Before Myanmar children go to the nearby monastery or nunnery for three R's education at the age of 6 or 7 years, they first receive their initial learning through poems and songs taught them by those who nurse them. Hence there exists an abundance of folk nursery rhymes preserved orally throughout the country. Some scholars both native and foreign have collected Myanmar nursery rhymes and studied them academically. But many folk rhymes and jingles remain unknown and unrecorded and some have been totally forgotten. Few esteemed poets and occasional rhymesters of pre-war days and to-day have made attempts at reviving old folk nursery songs and composed new ones. We shall make some samplings of old ones. The following is a short jingle sung by small children while at play. Rain, Mom and Dad

Extractions: Those who care about children and their literature have an obligation to inform themselves of the best and the latest thinking about the constellation of topics that will enable them to bring the two together most successfully. The reading bibliography is basic to gaining a rich background in the field. At a time when many of our children are over-scheduled and over-stressed; we must ask ourselves what role(s) literature can play in their lives. Cookbooks, for example, drawn from children's stories offer a different and exciting approach for child readers. How important are books and reading in a media-saturated environment ? Encountering a small piece of the children's publishing world through their presentations in web sites may be quite useful. How much influence can parents, teachers, and librarians expect to have on the reading and viewing habits of young people?
