FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Jupiter Scientific Launches Revolutionary Educative Preschool Book
November 1, 2002 is the publication date
for an extraordinary new book packed full
of educative features for the preschool
child. One! Two! Three! This Book 's for Me! teaches
the 2-3 year-old toddler counting, colors, the alphabet
and a host of other important early-learning issues. For the 4-5 year old, the
book assists the parent in teaching a child
to read by simplifying the reading process and by using visual aids.
Using the book and various methods, the author, Stuart
Samuel, Ph. D., taught his son, who was just turning
four, to read at a first-grade level. Dr. Samuel
used scientific methods: Trying many reading
exercises (analogous to scientific experiments), he noted
the successes and failures (the equivalent of experimental observation) from
which he developed theories of early-learning reading. These
theories and methods were then tested on other preschoolers. The
result is a book for which a preschool child can easily
learn various aspects of reading. "One of the most important
elements," says Dr. Samuel, "is to render the reading process
as simple as possible." The book uses images beneath many words
to help the child guess their meanings. In addition, the text
is written entirely in capital letters, words are
consistently color-coded, sentences rhyme and there
is a word/picture glossary. Dr. Samuel is developing
an information-packed pamphlet
entitled How I Taught My Four-Year-Old Son to Read for use
in conjunction with the book.
The pictures accompanying the text not
only assist the child in reading but children are intrigued
by how images on different pages are connected by various
elements (mountains, a red fence, green trees, etc.). Parents will
want to buy this book to set their love ones on a path to early learning.
