Why are Dr. Seuss books so good for children?
March 2 marked the birthday of Dr. Seuss. Experts including the faculty of Peabody College at Vanderbilt University talk about the value of Theodore Geisel's books for children. They talk about how children need to learn to manipulate sounds and have rich experiences with words and language. The rhymes, rhythms, and made up words in Dr. Seuss books help stimulate something called phonological awareness, which is an important pre-reading skill. Ann Nealy of Peabody talks about the cleverness behind the made-up words in Dr. Seuss books and Jeanne Wanzek of Peabody talks about how the stories involve problem-solving and critical thinking.
