KIT'S READING LIST - MAINLY NOVELS READ AND LISTENED TO - FROM AGE 4:06 to 15:02 ================================================================================ http://www.frenchfamily.info/books.txt LEARNING TO READ Kit spoke his first word at maybe two years and six months, but it wasn’t until he was three years and three months that we felt he was talking properly. Then we began teaching him to read using a computerised, flash-card technique beginning with short words and letter sounds. Progress was slow but steady for the first eight or nine months but accelerated after that and by four years six months (when the following book list began) his reading vocabulary was around 2,500 words, increasing at around 600 words per month. See article in local GM&C NAGC 2002 Newsletter at: http://www.frenchfamily.info/ACunningPlanForReading.pdf The mistake we probably made was waiting until Kit could speak before teaching him to read. Recent studies suggest that this is not necessary. According to Dr Robert Titzer, babies can be taught to read at just nine months old. Dr Titzer developed an interactive programme with his daughter Aleka: By nine months she could mime the meaning of a list of body parts as well as words such as "laughing" and "shouting". His technique uses actions and sound to help toddlers recognise a series of complex words: http://www.infantlearning.com LISTENING The children's author Jacqueline Wilson recommends reading to children as late as 12. I well remember enjoying listening to a teacher reading to my class in secondary school back in the 1950s. And, of course, audio books are primarily aimed at adults and books have always been a feature of radio, highlighted by the BBC's Book at Bedtime. Unfortunately, I stopped reading to Kit when he became 8. READING Although no longer reading to Kit, I often continue to read the same books after he has read them. Some very short or factual books are excluded from this list along with repeat readings. The average daily reading time from age 4:06 to 6:07 is not known - maybe 20-30 minutes. From 6:07 to 10:08 it was 40 minutes. Up to 15 he read for maybe half an hour. The age given below is (truncated) age at which the book was begun. Book lengths vary from 24 pages, taking less than an hour, to over one thousand, taking over a month. His first 'proper' book, The Terrible Trins by Dick King-Smith, is 17,000 words long, while Nicholas Nickleby is around 300,000, Jonathan Strange 375,000 and War & Peace 500,000. updated: 3-Mar-2008 BOOKS LISTENED TO [n=37] [many short picture books preceded this list] Charlie and the Chocolate Factory -Roald Dahl = 4:10 Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator -Roald Dahl = 4:11 Matilda -Roald Dahl = 5:00 The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe (#2) -C S Lewis = 5:00 The Magician's Nephew (#1) -C S Lewis = 5:01 The Horse & His Boy (#3) -C S Lewis = 5:01 Prince Caspian (#4) -C S Lewis = 5:03 The Voyage of the Dawntreader (#5) -C S Lewis = 5:03 The Silver Chair (#6) -C S Lewis = 5:04 The Last Battle (#7) -C S Lewis = 5:06 The Hobbit -Tolkien = 5:07 The Lord of The Rings -J R R Tolkien = 5:08 Kidnapped -Robert Louis Stevenson = 6:02 Frankenstein -Mary Shelley = 6:04 Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone-J K Rowling = 6:05 The Time Machine -H G Wells = 6:06 Goosebumps: #8 - The Curse of the Cree..-R L Stein = 6:07 Goosebumps: #11 - three stories... -R L Stein = 6:07 David Copperfield -Charles Dickens = 6:07 The Chrysalids -John Wyndham = 6:11 Tale of Two Cities -Charles Dickens = 7:00 The Three Musketeers -Alexandre Dumas = 7:02 Journey to the Centre of the Earth -Jules Verne = 7:03 The Great Adventures of Sherlock Holmes -Arthur Conan Doyle = 7:05 Round the World in 80 Days -Jules Verne = 7:06 Robinson Crusoe -Daniel Defoe = 7:08 Great Expectations -Charles Dickens = 7:10 A Christmas Carol -Charles Dickens = 8:02 Grimm's Fairy Tales -Brothers Grimm = 8:02 The Phantom Tolbooth -Norton Juster = 8:04 Sinbad the Sailor and Other Tales from..-retold = 8:04 Moomin Summer Madness -Tove Jansson = 8:05 Rip Van Winkle -Washington Irving = 8:06 Uncanny even more surprising stories -Paul Jennings = 8:06 Solo -Roald Dahl = 8:07 The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar -Roald Dahl = 8:09 The Snow Goose -Paul Gallico = 8:11 BOOKS READ [n=400] [a large number of picture books preceded this list] The Terrible Trins -Dick King-Smith = 4:06 The Sheep Pig -Dick King-Smith = 4:08 Dodos Are Forever -Dick King-Smith = 4:08 Lord Scarecrow -Margaret Nash?
