Storybooks That Teach Are Committed To Your Child's Success.

Dear Parent,
It feels so good to see your child achieve milestones, absorb knowledge like a sponge and develop a true love of learning.

"Storybooks That Teach" can awaken these senses in your child, bring their brains to attention, get their brain synapses connecting at speeds so impressive even the energizer bunny would drop his drum.

It is this very hunger to learn that needs to be nurtured. You don't want to miss your window of opportunity--the years prior to age 7. Absolutely, hands-down the MOST IMPORTANT and VITAL learning and child development stages of their growth.

Once it's gone, you can't get it back. Don't you want to know you did everything you could to build that foundation of success, nurture that feeling of accomplishment that will later blossom into a positive self image? Isn't that your ultimate gift as a parent?

No video game, TV show or arcade can deliver the kind of stimulation that the pages of these books can inspire. It is so simple. So pure. So engaging yet so very affordable. (Less than the cost of a video game with lifelong benefits you can't put a price tag on.)

I'm a childhood education specialist with years of education, experience and training; but I'm also a parent. I know how it feels to want a manual to navigate your child's latest crisis.

Let me tell you a little about myself.............

Hi there, my name is Paul Mackie, I live in Calgary, Canada
with my wife and children. I am a professional Early Childhood
Educator and a Wholistic Therapist, presently working with
adults with challenges and disabilities.

Let me be blunt here..............THIS IS SERIOUS.
"I know what I am talking about". I've spent many YEARS of my
life dealing with kids in daycares, pre-school, Elementary and
Junior High school. I know what they need, and most
importantly.....I know WHEN they need it!.

"I HAVE THE CREDENTIALS and THE EXPERIENCE, but putting all that aside, as a parent I
have been through the parenting mill (so to speak), and totally understand what you are going
through to raise a child.

What Makes Storybooks That Teach Different?

Scientists are saying that children need certain sensory and developmental experiences, before
they reach the age of seven years; Storybooks That Teach provide those experiences.

What Science Is Saying?

Scientists are saying that a great percentage of a child's brain is formed before the age of seven
years; this development is achieved during critical growth periods, by providing certain sensory
and developmental activities to stimulate brain growth.

What Type Of Sensory And Developmental Experiences Do Children Need?

Children need activities that stimulate seven senses, which are sight, sound, hearing, taste,
touch, vestibular and proprioception; the last two are to do with balance and awareness of the
body in space.

Storybooks That Teach provide activities in all of these sensory areas, not only in a fun and
playful way, but one that invites children to participate, increase self-esteem; and possibly
create a rich network of brain pathways for future development.

Storybooks That Teach Case Studies And Observations

The following case studies and observations are my own personal observations of preschool
children using the activities in Storybooks That Teach.

It has been my experience that preschool children will listen to and get actively involved in the
stories; and then read the stories to their peers.

Several years ago I was hired by a daycare to work with a three year old boy who had severe behavioral problems. As an Early Childhood Educator who had lots of experience in child development and had some experience working with behaviorally challenged children I thought, "How bad could it be?" after all, he was only three years old. Tommy (not his real name) knew a lot of words; he favored "f_ _ _ you!" followed by a string of two to three word sentences of the same language and ran around threatening the other kids with a wooden 2X4 12 inch long block.

At first I tried the usual methods of child development such as behavioral management, time-out, transitional methods (timers, communication of changes in activities etc), rewards and praise for good behavior, but all to no avail. It was at this point that I decided to use a new approach called a Balance Board.

The play-based, child development Balance Board activity included spinning on a rotational Balance Board and throwing some bean bags at a target while standing on a pivot Balance Board.

Tommy started using the board. The first thing I noticed was that Tommy did not get dizzy; he would spin for five minutes, get up off the board and walk away (I later found out this could be a possible indicator that a person may have sensory difficulties). Another thing was his awareness of where he was in space; he would run his hand along the wall all the time (another possible indicator of sensory difficulties) and would slide on his back on the floor, bumping his head quite hard on walls, doors and furniture.

Tommy's behaviors had decreased a little and he was swearing less, but after two months, I began to doubt whether the balance board activities were having much effect on his child development. It was at this point that an amazing thing happened. One day after our usual five minutes of spinning Tommy stood up and said, "I feel dizzy." Something had changed, which was not amazing in itself; the truly amazing thing happened the next day.

The next day I was watching as a boy took Tommy's train set. I quickly stepped in to prevent Tommy from snatching back the train and hitting the boy as he typically would. To my surprise, Tommy came over to me and said, "He has taken my train!" I asked Tommy, "What should we do about that?" Tommy replied, "He took my train set. Let's go and ask for it back!" (twelve words, in sentences - truly amazing for this little boy). I helped Tommy get the train back by using his words. From that point on, Tommy's use of vocabulary increased dramatically. He could communicate his needs and feelings and his violent outbursts decreased. Tommy still had behaviors, but his child development was more at the level of a developing three year old. Another interesting thing was that Tommy stopped running his hands on the walls, although he would still slide on the floor. He would however slow down and gently touch his head to objects instead of hitting them hard.

So there you have it. I believe laughter, compassion and sensory play are the best ways to help with child development. It is not about good or bad; it is not about fixing behaviors; it is not about finding solutions or diagnoses; it is about consistently providing the Sensory Rich Environment; the Balance Board can be part of that child development environment.

The Balance Board

Balance is a critical part of a child's development, it is said to help with learning and body
coordination.

While working in an after-school program I had a eight year old girl who was struggling with her
spelling tests. I decided to use the Balance Board.

I checked the girl's spelling by having her just read the spelling test words, and then asking her
to spell the words. The girl averaged about 60%, which was similar to the results she achieved
at school.

The girl would stand on the Pivot Balance Board and read the spelling words; I would then read
and spell the words to her, then have her spell the words to me. The girl started getting 100% of
her tests correct; a great improvement.

Storybooks That Teach include balance activities to help children learn about emotions, body
coordination, focusing and improve thinking skills.

Using Puppets In Your Stories

Storybooks That Teach are easy to use, adaptable and have many lessons for children to
experience.

I sometimes tell the story "A Walk In The Jungle" using a puppet. When I first tried using a
puppet I was surprised at how preschool children think that the puppet is a real person, or
animal; and how they will trust the puppet before they trust you.

I remember one boy coming to hug the puppet after a story. The boy hugged, and whispered to
the puppet, "Can I tell you a secret?" I said, "Yes". The boy whispered the secret to the puppet,
and then said, "Don't tell Paul." I said, "I won't".

Usually with puppets I use my regular voice, but that does not seem to matter to children, they
see the puppet as something real and separate from you.
