Entrevista con My Bilingual Child Corner

February 2, 2021 by Erika Deery

¡Hola amigos!

Hace poquito tuve la fortuna de ser entrevistada para My Bilingual Child Corner.  Es un recurso increíble en cuanto a la crianza bilingüe sobretodo si estás tratando de que tu peque aprenda inglés como lengua objetivo.

Me encantó platicar con María en esta entrevista porque hablamos sobre mi proceso creativo a la hora de escribir libro y un poco de lo que me mueve a contar e ilustrar historias para los pequeñines.

¡Espero que les guste! 🙂

How to get the most out of your kids alphabet books

June 28, 2017 by Erika Deery

Sometimes our kids ask to read the same book again and again, so much so, that we end up learning it by heart.  In the case of alphabet books, you don’t only have to read from A to Z in that order.  Here I share some tips so your trip through the letters of the alphabet is more fun.

  1. Focus on the drawing and the sound of the letter.

Ask your child what the illustration is, what is it for, what colour it is.  When your child says the word emphasize the sound of that word.  If it is an armadillo you can say “AAAAArmadillo”.  If it is a dinosaur you can say “DDDDDinosaur” and so on.  The idea is that your child can relate that sound to the letter he is seeing.

 

  1. Make a mistake.

This works very well with kids older than 3.  You can pretend to say the wrong letter or the wrong word for the illustration.  If your kid already knows that letter, they will be very happy to tell you the right letter.  If they don’t realise you have it wrong, maybe you need to wait a little bit to use this tip.

  1. Describe the illustrations.

You can talk about something special about the illustration, either the colours, the shapes or the characters expressions.  Don’t forget to be expressive with your voice.  For example “Poor Little fishy, the crocodile is going to eat it!”

 

  1. Name different words with the same letter.

Don’t limit yourself only to the word in the picture. Ask your kid what other words start with that letter.

  1. Ask your child to trace the letter with their finger.

You can show them how to do it and they can copy you.  This is great if the letters in the book have textures, are embossed or a are hidden within the picture.

So there you have it, these are my tips to get the most out of your alphabet books.  If you have different tips to the ones I included, feel free to share in the comments.

Happy Reading!
