The Child’s World’s revised edition of The Word Bird Series is divided into these curriculum areas; Word Bird’s Word House books, School Day Books, Short Vowel Adventures and Word Bird’s Readers. Using word puzzles, word houses, and  games, Word bird playfully teaches vocabulary, values, colors, months of the year, days of the week, and much more.

Word Bird's Magic Wand - Word Bird uses a pencil as a magic wand to write and learn many new words at school such as, a birthday  message, signs for a zoo,  and a note in Duck’s lunch box.  Word Bird and others write stories and make  books. Miss Beary gives everyone a surprise button that reads,” I am an author”.

Word Bird's New Friend - Going into a classroom for the first time is a big challenge for Little Kangaroo.  Word Bird helps by being friendly and kind.  The school day is filled with many exciting activities including a potato- sack race on the playground. Page 32 has a chart on How To Win a Friend.

Word Bird Builds a City - Blocks are children’s construction tools for creative play.  In a kindergarten classroom, blocks disappear from the shelves as children build roads, houses, boats, train stations, zoos, and every kind of building. This imaginative play helps them learn size, shapes, colors and ,textures. They make signs, learn new words, and interact with each other. I wrote  the book, Word Bird Builds A City ,with the children as they built a city out of blocks right in my classroom.
Children today have  many ready made toys that leave little room for imagination. Blocks are fluid. They can turn into anything  a child can imagine.  The text also expands  vocabulary as a young reader finds the things that belong in each new building in the city.  Your children will add even more buildings to their block city.

Word Bird’s Rainy-Day Dance - Along with creative play, creative movement and dramatics are hallmarks of the early childhood years. Children are learning many ways to communicate with their bodies. They love to play pretend. A young child watches an airplane zoom overhead. Suddenly his arms are outstretched and he zooms around pretending to fly like the airplane in the sky. Word Bird’s Rainy Day Dance is one example of a creative dance story about digging and planting a garden on a spring day. Children love to dramatize the sequence from seeds to plants, fruits, and veggies.  In the book, everyone has a part. Children are also learning about working together and creating a story themselves, as they move with enough space  to sway, turn, twirl,  tiptoe ,and bend, as they dance.

 

Word Bird Asks What? What? What? - Young children are full of questions as they discover the world of people and things. They ask: what? why? how? where” and when? many times each day. Children are actively engaged in learning, not only what we say but what we do.

This book, helps children identify some animal habitats in a pond, the woods, a field, a farm, a park, and at a city zoo. Young children are beginning to label and classify animals.  They are very interested in  finding out where and how animals live. After reading this book, many children will be interested in what animals live in the  mountains, the hot jungle, on the sandy desert, and  in other places around the world.
