improtance of reading to children is obvious to every parent.
Reading to children is one of the best ways to put them on
succes-academically and personally. The American Academy of
Pediatrics (AAP) strongly recommends reading to children every day,
starting after they are first born, because reading stimulates the
development of the brain, language and closer emotional
relationship with a child.You can start reading to children right
from the moment they are born. Infants love to hear the voices of
their parents. It doesnt matter what you read. The most important
thing is a togethernes of you and your baby. As your child gets
older and can understand the stories you read, take time to ask
questions, e.g. what do you think will happen next? Do you know
what this word means? Which character is your favorite? You can
retell the story or make up a new with the same characters. Reading
to children is so crucial that parents should find time to do it
everyday. You will be surprised at how creative you are at finding
time to read a story to your children. Read while waiting to see
the pediatrician, having a treat at a restaurant or waiting in line
at the store. You can read a loud in the morning before school and,
of course, at bed time. Read a story while waiting for the bus or
rain or once a board. Make tapes of yourself or another familly
member reading stories and play them in the car on the way to
school or daycare.Parents arent alone in understanding the
importance of reading to children. Good teachers read aloud in the
classroom. Talk to your childs teacher to get suggestions for books
to read and observe the class to get tips on reading aloud. Older
siblings, relatives, and friends may also enjoy reading aloud. When
your child is ready, encourage her to read aloud to youand the rest
of the family. This will pave the way for a love of reading.

Garuda di dadaku In Garuda di Dadaku, Bayu was a boy living with
his widowed-mother and grandfather. Although talented in football,
Bayu was under the strict regime of his granddad, who was deeply
traumatized by the death of his son, a football player, in poverty.
The tragedy left him and old grumpy who readily shouted a straight
big NO to football. Instead, granddad sent Bayu to different
courses, from painting to math, so that he cloud find and develop
his potentials in fields other than just kicking the ball around.
Secretly, Bayu still played football and he got a massive support
from his friend, Heri, confined to a wheelchair ever since hes
born. Being unable to live his own football dreams, Heri put all
his efforts and sources to ensure that Bayu could enter the U-13
Indonesia football team, including smoothing his way to be accepted
in Arsenals Sekolah Sepakbola Indonesia (Indonesia Football
Academy). (Its a real, flesh-and-bone academy, situated in Ciputat,
my hme base). The premise is quite simple, granted, but i was
entertained throughout the film by the astonishing perfomance of
the actors and actresses, especially Ramzy, the comedianwho played
Bang Dulloh, Heris chauffeur. Some pointed out the weak points of
this film: the reason why granddad hated football so much. His
views seemed to be too outdated and perculiar, he said. I cannot
fully agree; anyway, granddad was ancient and Ive met people who
earnestly hated things for reasons simpler than granddads (and I
wont go into details here). As much as I respect the peoples view,
I beg to differ.23. The text is about a movie...24. According to
the writer, his grandfathers view is....25. Who helps the main
character of the film become a football player?E-learningE-learning

psychology into consideration. Park suggested that the e should

numerous types of media that deliver text, audio, images,

Stephen Kings new Joyland mixes chills with amusement park
thrillsSet in a small-town North Carolina amusement park in 1973,
Joyland tells the story of the summer in which college student
Devin Jones comes to work as a carrier and confronts the legacy of
a vicious murder, the fate of a dying child, and ways both will
change his life forever.Joyland has a patina of the supernatural :
ther is the ghost as well as Devins friendship with a 10-year old
disable boy named Mike, who is gifted with an authentic psychic
ability that is like touching another world. Still, for all that
this helps drive the narrative, it ultimately brings us back to
Devin, to the novels human heart.The newest novel from the prolific
Stephen King, Joyland is not what I was excepting. We often talk
about reader expection here at The book
