Eisenhower Goes to the Fair: A Dr. Fred Adventure - April McMahon - Bog

In our current fast food world with a rising epidemic of obesity, pre-diabetes, diabetes and metabolic syndrome, the time has come to jump on the movement already started by many conscientious individuals and institutions to create awareness and educate children on the potential harm of a western diet rich in refined sugars on their long term health. The Dr Fred Children's Collection aims to plant a seed of nutrition awareness in young children through creative fun stories and characters they can embrace. These books will serve to entertain and educate our children on healthy nutrition options. It is hoped that in time these young minds will select more natural foods and avoid the eventual health complications that result from regularly consuming refined sugars and fast food. Phonics or word families, also called phonograms or "chunks" are words that have the same ending and they all rhyme, but how to you teach beginner readers about words that have a different ending but also sound the same? The Eisenhower Series uses Narrative Poetry, "Story Poems", with basic metered verse to help beginner readers learn to deal with confusing areas of phonics in the English language through contextual reading.The Dr. Fred's Children's Collection uses powerful poetry tools: compact language, rhyming, rhythm, line breaks, imagery, repetition, metaphor, personification, alliteration, and simile.Conversational dialogue is also introduced between the characters. The reader experiences the story through the character's use of their five senses: What did they see, hear, smell, taste, and touch.Also Included in this book: Hidden Pictures, Word Scramble, Practice Writing with Phonics, Discussion Questions, Poetry Comprehension, Matching, Artist's Corner, Phonics Flash Cards
