This was one of my favorite books as a child. All of the words in the book are only one syllable, except for 'anywhere' which is three syllables. The book only consists of fifty different words, therefore they are repeated several times. Dr. Seuss uses rhyming couplets throughout the book. There are two characters in the book; Sam-I-Am, and his unnamed friend. The gender of the characters is never actually stated, but I am assuming that they are both males. Yes, there was a plot to the story. Sam-I-Am was trying to convince his friend to try green eggs and ham, but he did not to because he didn't think he would like it. Sam-I-Am was persistant and continued to try to persuade his friend to taste them. Finally at the end of the story, Sam's friend tries the green eggs and ham under the condition that he leaves him alone. It turned out that he actually liked the green eggs and ham. I think this book would help children with reading and language development. It uses repetition, which helps children remember what they previously read. Also, Dr. Seuss uses short, one-syllable words which are easy for kids to read. The use of rhyming is also good for reading development because it will help to extend children's vocabulary. I think this book would be the easiest to memorize because the amount of repetition it uses. I think the most complex book is One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. The simplest book was Inside, Outside, Upside Down.morgan mccartannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088273984661570768.post-61208307842623963302010-02-26T15:38:12.627-05:002010-02-26T15:38:12.627-05:00The book I chose is “Snow bugs” by Susan Shade and...The book I chose is “Snow bugs” by Susan Shade and Jon Buller. Each page has two or three lines with words containing one and/or two syllables. The book is considered to be for beginners but in result of the two syllable words it may be difficult for young readers. Some of the words and vocab used that make this book more difficult are: sometimes, blowing, whooshing, candlelight etc… I also noticed that most of the pages do rhyme. Phrases like “ It’s a snow day, it’s a play day” is an example of this. The use of rhyming, I believe makes some of the harder words easier to figure out. It also is more interesting for children to read. When something is more interesting children will work harder to finish a book like Snow bugs therefore improving and challenging their language development. Although there is no repetition in the book all of the words used are related to what happens on a snow day. Such as: shoveling, sledding, and getting hats and mittens ready. This as well improves their language. The main point of the story is to explain to children how to get ready for a snow day before they go out and play. Once having read this story, children will learn to use the words from this book when there is a snow day. They can tell their parents they need their mittens and hats, and snowsuit etc… The characters in this book are bugs. Their genders are not given until about the 10th page which they do by naming them. Overall this is a good book to challenge young reader’s ability to decipher new vocab words and challenge their language skills. I also believe “Snow Bugs” is one of the most complex beginner books. In my opinion one of the easiest books I remember reading is “Old Hat, New Hat”. The words in this book are very simple and basic. The book is basically just describing different types of hats with adjectives such as frilly, silly, lumpy and so on. The easiest book to memorize is “Sleepy Dog”. This book only has one or two lines on each page; which are very simple. Also, most of the lines are actions the dog does. I feel like actions such as running and jumping are easier for kids to remember.Melissa E.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088273984661570768.post-86019561397683534082010-02-25T20:07:50.960-05:002010-02-25T20:07:50.960-05:00The book I selected is Green Eggs and Ham by Dr.Se...The book I selected is Green Eggs and Ham by Dr.Seuss.Green Eggs and Ham has one to two number of syllables per each word. The vocabulary is more complex than that of other Dr.Seuss books it uses words such as anywhere and would. The vocabulary is also very repetitive. Phrases such as "I would not" and "I do not" are repeated multiple times. This repetitiveness makes it easy for children to memorize the story. The story all together had a plot and a conclusion. The story was straight forward and easy for children to understand what the story is about. They know right away that Sam is trying to convince is friend to try Green Eggs and Ham and in the end result his friend eats the eggs and actually enjoys them. The genders of the characters in my opinion to a child who be perceived as male. The one character is actually given a name which is Sam which to many children is a boy's name. Also from the pictures the other character looks like and has the traits of a male. This story would help children learn to read because it is repetitive which makes it easy for children to learn and memorize the words in the book which is a step in learning to read. The story also had a basic plot which makes the story easier for children to understand which helps them focus more on the vocabulary. The most complex book was 1 fish 2 fish, the simplest book was foot book which was also the easiest to memorize.<br /><br /> -Christine McKeeverChristine Mck purplenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088273984661570768.post-64735133029059338092010-02-25T12:21:23.980-05:002010-02-25T12:21:23.980-05:00The book I'm analyzing is Dr. Suess's Gree...The book I'm analyzing is Dr. Suess's Green Eggs and Ham. It's a very simple book and is great for beginners. The book consists entirely of one-syllable words with only one two-syllable word. There are two main characters, Sam I Am, and the other is unnamed. The plot of the story is about Sam I Am describing places and things that the other main character could eat green eggs and ham at and with. This is a great book to learn descriptive vocabulary. It also uses simple words. rhyming throughout the whole story. This is a very popular book with young children learning to read, and I would recommend it to anyone. I thought the most complex books was One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish because it had a more difficult vocabulary. The Foot Book seemed easiest for a child to memorize because of it's simpler vocabulary and repetition.Dana Tomczaknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088273984661570768.post-5583393499685515352010-02-24T11:14:58.962-05:002010-02-24T11:14:58.962-05:00The book I chose to analyze is “The Foot Book.” T...The book I chose to analyze is “The Foot Book.” The majority of the words in this book contain one syllable with very few two-syllable words mixed in. It is labeled as a beginner book and uses simple words that are easy to pick up on and are necessary for future learning of some other more complex vocabulary. The words are also repeated multiple times, which also makes it easier to recognize later in the book or in the future. Finally there is also some rhyming which goes hand in hand with the repetitive and simple vocabulary. “The Foot Book” has no focused plot other than on different feet. This book was one of the only ones with female and male characters. When describing the different feet they refer to one as, “her feet,” and the other as, “his feet.” This book would be a great help with language development because it teaches and gives examples of the differences between the word “foot” and “feet.” In other words, it teaches the child plurals and singulars which can be applied to many other words. In my opinion, the most complex book was “The Cat in the Hat Comes Back,” because of the difficulty of the vocabulary and the majority of the words contained two or more syllables. The simplest book was “The Foot Book,” because of the usage of short words and only containing one syllable. The book that was most easy to memorize would be “Green Eggs and Ham.” It would be easiest to memorize because of the amount of rhyming and repetitiveness throughout the entire book.Alex Papanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088273984661570768.post-86166947515429967012010-02-24T10:33:54.067-05:002010-02-24T10:33:54.067-05:00The book I chose to analyze was Green Eggs and Ham...The book I chose to analyze was Green Eggs and Ham. The book is meant for children to read during their first years of learning. This book is easy, simple, and a great choice for new readers. There is one syllable per word, except for the word anywhere, which makes this book simple yet entertaining for readers. The words were small and often repeated throughout the story. For example, "green eggs and ham" is said on almost every page of the book. Also, I think new readers will enjoy the book because it rhymes, making it easy. Every word rhymes! This helps children realize how different words can make the same sounds (phonemes.) There was a definite plot to the story: Sam-I-Am would not eat green eggs and ham, saying he didn't like it. His friend, unnamed, kept trying to get him to eat it, but he refused, naming all different kinds of places he did not like to eat green eggs and ham at. At the end of the story, Sam-I-Am tries the green eggs and ham, and likes them! This book teachers readers the concept of rhyming and helps them see that reading is fun. It also teaches them to experiment with new things. One syllable words make reading easier in this book. Repetition of the words help the children to keep learning and practicing the words. We learn through practice! This is why I chose to analyze the book Green Eggs and Ham.<br /><br />I think that The Cat in the Hat Comes Back was the most complex book because the words were of moderate difficulty- not simple words. I think the easiest book to read was the foot book because there wasn't really a set plot and the words were small and easy.Miranda Lemon Pinknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088273984661570768.post-5883574090053454372010-02-23T21:21:34.392-05:002010-02-23T21:21:34.392-05:00Tom Valichka

There is not a lot of varied vocabulary. And there is a lot of repition between numbers and bears because it is a book focused on early counting skills with rhyming throughout the story. There isn't much of a plot either because all it talks about is how many bears are on a bike in a certain picture. The book is short and simple which wouod help kids who are just learning the basics of reading and counting and its easy to memorize and one of the simplest books.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088273984661570768.post-11889763477696643342010-02-23T13:31:50.092-05:002010-02-23T13:31:50.092-05:00In The Foot Book, the vocabulary uses only one syl...In The Foot Book, the vocabulary uses only one syllable in each word. It uses easy, simple to read words. It uses plurals of foot/feet. Most of the words are the same and it rhymes throughout the book. This book has no plot.

This book is a very simple book, with very simple words. The book repeats words to a great extent. The repetition of words is good for beginning readers because seeing the word over and over again can help them remember the word’s spelling and sound. The vocabulary used is directed to beginning readers also. There are mostly one-syllable words, which are the easiest to learn. The vocabulary in this book is also not large. There are many of the same words over and over again, such as “old hat” and “new hat”. There was a small plot to this story, which was in a hat store, and a bear (the main character) wanted a new hat and explored different types with various colors and shapes. The gender of the bear was not stated. This book is helpful for children’s reading development because of the various repetitions of words, which helps familiarize a child with that particular word. In my opinion this book was the simplest book because of the small vocabulary and repetition. I think that The Cat in the Hat was the most complex because of its large vocabulary and extensive plot. Though I think that Old Hat New Hat is the simplest book, I believe that the Foot Book would be the easiest to memorize for the reason that it is rhyming, short, and not too complex.Alex Chickadel, Pink Classnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088273984661570768.post-60352737939583010162010-02-23T13:05:46.660-05:002010-02-23T13:05:46.660-05:00Green Eggs and Ham is an extremely easy book to re...Green Eggs and Ham is an extremely easy book to read. the words contain 1 syllable, the vocabulary is very easy and basic, and there was rhyming. The two characters in the story are Sam and an unnamed character There is a plot to the story. Sam attempts to convince a character to eat green eggs and ham. The character repeatedly refuses to try it because he insists that he will not like it. At the end of the story, the unnamed character gives into trying the green eggs and ham and ends up loving it. These two characters do not have a gender. this book helps with reading and language development because it has very basic words and rhyming, which helps them learn the proper pronunciation of words. There are only 50 words used, the repetition of these words helps them to practice so they remember. I think that The Cat in the Hat was the most challenging book, it had words with more than one syllable and the plot jumped around, which may be hard to follow for some children. The easiest book to read was probably One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish because all of the words rhymed and were repetitive.Mari Palermonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088273984661570768.post-46648783131701763612010-02-23T12:58:52.558-05:002010-02-23T12:58:52.558-05:00The book I read in class on Friday was Green Eggs ...The book I read in class on Friday was Green Eggs and Ham.

Also, the majority of the words were adjectives, describing the type or color of the hat. Just about every other word rhymed which would make children want to read more. It has a good flow that would be interesting to hear. This book probably wouldn't be easy to memorize because there is not as much repetition as in the other books, but because of the rhyming it would be easier for children to learn to read. The most complex book is probably The Cat in the Hat Comes Back, because it 's so long and detailed. The simplest book is by far Inside Outside, Upside Down. It is almost all repetition and the words are very basic. The story that would be easiest to memorize would be The Foot Book, because there is so much rhyming which helps kids memorize.theresa Cahillnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088273984661570768.post-82477277673347440492010-02-23T12:53:37.753-05:002010-02-23T12:53:37.753-05:00The book I read in class on Friday was Green Eggs ...The book I read in class on Friday was Green Eggs and Ham.

The book told a very creative story while still being simple and easy to understand. It used very very basic words that it repeated a lot and even threw in some simple rhyming. The plot was excellent for a children's book. It was about the cat helping two children remove a red stain, but they ended up with a much bigger stain that was on almost everything. The cat does not have a gender and the two kids were one boy and one girl. I do think this book helps children's language development because of its intriguing story and simple vocabulary.<br /><br />The most complex book we read was probably Red Fish Blue Fish One Fish Two Fish. This is because of it's length and all of the made up words in it. The simplet book was the book about the hats, and the easiest to memorize was The Foot Book because of it's brevity and rhyming.Zach Dennisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088273984661570768.post-14082013272616844372010-02-23T11:10:23.090-05:002010-02-23T11:10:23.090-05:00The book that I chose was "How The Grinch Sto...The book that I chose was "How The Grinch Stole Christmas". This story had many monosyllabic words. The longest syllable words were three syllables like "tomorrow" and "wonderful". The vocabulary was definitely mixed and ranged from one-syllable words to three syllable words. There was repetition such as "noise", "feast", and "took". As the plot continues, the rhyming did as well. Each page rhymed extensively and the plot was very well-written. The story starts with the Grinch planning on "taking" Christmas away from the Whos by dressing as Santa. He steals everything from their presents to their food. At the end of the story he takes the stolen goods "to the top of Mt. Crumpit to dump it" but, then he hears the Whos singing. He learns that Christmas isn't about material things but it's about being together. While the Grinch was male, Cindy Lou Who(the character who catches the Grinch stealing) is a female. This story certainly helps with reading because it presents children with a challenge and allows them to hear words that rhyme. The language includes basic words and words that are more complex. Also, after reading the books in class I believe that the simplest book was 'Inside, Outside, Up Side' since the words were not much of a challenge. The most complex was 'One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish' because it had a lot of variety. If I had to choose one to memorize it would be 'The Foot Book' because it rhymes and the book is fairly simple.EL Pinknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088273984661570768.post-21681989481260484282010-02-22T23:32:18.930-05:002010-02-22T23:32:18.930-05:00Green Eggs and Ham contains all one syllable words...Green Eggs and Ham contains all one syllable words with the exception of the word "anywhere." The vocabulary of the book is extremely easy as well. It uses many sight words along with very basic words such as mouse and fox. Words and sentences were very often repeated and the story did rhyme. There was a very basic plot to the story which was Sam trying to get his friend to try the green eggs and ham. In the end, his friend tries them and likes them. Although the characters could arguably be gender-neutral (as Sam is both a male and female name), the characters do both appear to be male. This book could help children to read by giving them sight words which they understand along with new words such as "anywhere." This would ultimately make reading more enjoyable for them and the repetition helps to enforce these new words. Probably the most difficult book was One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. The simplest and most easy to memorize was The Foot Book.Jen Gnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088273984661570768.post-9318909220165901142010-02-22T23:24:17.296-05:002010-02-22T23:24:17.296-05:00The story green eggs and ham is one of many typica...The story green eggs and ham is one of many typical Dr.Seuss books. This children's book contains almost all one syllable words. From beginning to end he repeated many words and also rhymed about every other line. He made sure to use simple words like mouse and house, and fox and box. This story had a good plot that taught a lesson to children. This lesson is that you will never know if you like something unless you try it. There are two characters in the book, the first is unnamed and the second is Sam-I-Am. I believe that both characters are male. The most complex book was One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish. The Simplest was inside outside upside down. The book easiest to memorize was The Foot Book. I believe green Eggs and Ham is a good book for language development because it teaches kids simple vocabulary by the use of repetition and at the same time has a good plot that would interest the child making him/her want to read it over and over again.<br /><br />DOMINIC FANNONdominic fannonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088273984661570768.post-23165847313116679542010-02-22T23:19:48.289-05:002010-02-22T23:19:48.289-05:00The book I am choosing to analyze is Green Eggs an...The book I am choosing to analyze is Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss. The book is quite simple as it uses close to only fifty different words in the whole book. Mostif not all of the words are one syllable only making it easy and very understandbale for children. The vocabulary is not very deep but rather simple but good variety of different words. The book constanly rhymes to make it more enjoyable and easier for children to read or listen to. The plot of the story is "Sam-I-Am" or Sam whom I think is a boy has green eggs and ham and begs an unnamed character to taste it the entire book through many different situations. Finally the character tries it and likes it. This book can help with language development because of the way it presents the words in simple sentences and the plot of the story being very simple. The most complex book we read in class was The Cat and The Hat, it had many more words than the others. The simplest book was the Foot Book, and finally I thought the easiest book to memorize was Green Eggs and Ham because the story has a rythmatic flow and can is easy to comprehend.Harrison Strumnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088273984661570768.post-32663920607634103672010-02-22T22:58:52.041-05:002010-02-22T22:58:52.041-05:00One of the beginner books that I read for the assi...One of the beginner books that I read for the assignment was The Foot Book. The Foot Book used very basic vocabulary. Nearly all the words in the book were one syllable, simple ones. Also, almost all the words were repeated several times throughout the book. There were few words on each page, which made the books simpler to read for beginning readers. Rhyming was also used throughout this book, which would positively influence children’s reading skills. The book does not have a particular plot, but it does describe many different situations with feet. It helps with knowledge of opposites (such as left and right) and it helps children recognize plural nouns that do not follow the rule (such as the plural of ‘foot’ is ‘feet’). The book has a bear like creature, which appears to be a boy. In my opinion, this book was the simplest book I read because it dealt with very few words and the words it did have, were very simple. The most complex book I read was Cat in the Hat. It had several sentences on almost every page and used many different words. The book I read that was easiest to memorize was Green Eggs and Ham because the rhyming was really good and it used memorable and repetitive lines.kristin dalphon pinknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088273984661570768.post-17176613944596591982010-02-22T22:47:05.264-05:002010-02-22T22:47:05.264-05:00The book I’m analyzing is Green Eggs and Ham.

Most of the words were used places, animals and the name Sam, and green eggs and ham. The book had rhyming words every other line. There actually was a plot in this short book, it was that this character was trying to feed Sam-I-Am the green eggs and ham and he kept refusing saying he did not like green eggs and ham. In the end he has it and decides that he actually likes it. The genders of the characters were male. This book teaches a storyline, rhyme scheme, and repetition of simple words to young kids. In my opinion the One Fish, Two Fish, book seemed to be the most complex. I think the simplest book was The Foot book.

His father i in the beginning and end of the story and his mother also makes an appearance. The story used mostly two syllable words that were easy to understand and were also very repetitive. While it was not particularly filled with rhyming words, most of the words sounded similar. The book would help with language development because it told a story with as few words as possible and also repeated many of the words several time all throughout the story. A child would easily be able to recognize the repetition of words and gather their meaning through the context of the story. In my opinion, this story was the simplest book because of it's repetitive nature and simple storyline. Because it was not filled with rhymes, I didn't feel that it was the easiest to memorize and instead thought that "The Foot Book" was the easiest story to memorize. "The Foot Book" was filled with repeated rhyming words and it was more about the language and how the words were used rather than a storyline. The most complex book, in my opinion, was "One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish." While this book also rhymed with one syllable repeated words, it was a long story for a child to listen to if it does not have a storyline.kristina Mooneynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088273984661570768.post-75436785456632470422010-02-22T22:26:49.256-05:002010-02-22T22:26:49.256-05:00My favorite book as a child was "Green Eggs a...My favorite book as a child was "Green Eggs and Ham" by Dr. Seuss. This book has a very simple vocabulary with only fifty words throughout the whole book. Many of the words are similar and rhyme. For example, ham, Sam, and am. This allows the child to realize that many words are very similar but with one different letter, can change the entire words meaning. The fact that the book has so few but similar words will allow the child to focus on few words but at the same time, noticing the differences between them. This book has one of the best plots out of all of the books we read. I didn’t get to read all of it, but from what I can remember as a child, there are two male characters. One of the characters, Sam, is trying to get the other character to eat the green eggs and ham, following him in everything he does. In my opinion, the most complex book is “One Fish, Two Fish” because there is no point to the book, and there are many two syllable words. The simplest book is “Old Hat, New Hat” because the book is all descriptive words, with a picture underneath. If you are unsure of a word, you can use the picture to help. The easiest book to memorize is "Inside, Outside, Upside down" because on each page there is only one or two words, and you can judge where the person is compared to the box to tell the story.Rion O'Connellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088273984661570768.post-39685841116842090492010-02-22T22:12:34.343-05:002010-02-22T22:12:34.343-05:00The Foot Book

This book (usually) uses words that are no bigger than one syllable and small repetitive words. The book also uses rhyming and integrates colorful characters to make it a more enjoyable learning experience for children. The book is gender neutral - using male and female characters. In my opinion, the most complex book was The Cat in the Hat Comes back, due to the more extensive vocabulary. I think the simplest book is The Foot Book is the simplest, using one syllable words. The easiest book to memorize, in my opinion, is Green Eggs and Ham due to repetition.jill filetinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088273984661570768.post-80942916389186773192010-02-22T22:09:45.001-05:002010-02-22T22:09:45.001-05:00The Foot Book

"foot/feet" were very repetitive in this book, but the vocabulary was extensive in the fact that the adjectives were different when describing the feet. However, the adjectives were fairly simple and the words were most likely familiar to the reader. There was not a plot in this book and most of the characters were "things" without a gender. However, there was a page that mentioned "his feet, her feet" and above this reference there was a picture of a boy and a girl with a bow in her hair.<br /><br />This book does a lot to help children with reading and language development. It will help introduce the child to the idea of exceptions to grammatical rules by saying "foot" and "feet" instead of foots. Also, the main vocabulary of this book was adjectives that described the feet. On the pages, there were pictures that illustrated the adjectives. I think this would help the child expand their vocabulary.<br /><br />Old Hat New Hat seemed to be the hardest book because it had a lot of two syllable words like "frilly, holey, feathery." These words are harder for children to pronounce and they are not used that often in regular day to day speech. Consequently, this book helps to introduce new words that children would not usually have come into contact with that early in their development.<br /><br />I think parts of One Fish Two Fish would be easier to memorize but because of some of the complex parts like the "Wump gump" page, the "Inside Outside Upside Down" or "The Foot Book" would be easier to memorize because of the illustrations and simple one syllable vocabulary throughout the pages.amousernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088273984661570768.post-11488198408828458452010-02-22T22:05:27.317-05:002010-02-22T22:05:27.317-05:00The book “Old Hat New Hat” was generally the simpl...The book “Old Hat New Hat” was generally the simplest sentence structured book. It consisted of primarily 2 word sentences composed of the word too and an adjective. It also contained many one syllable words and few 2 syllable words which were primarily adjectives. There was not much of a plot just descriptions and the pictures with the descriptions, which helped the child, associate the two. This book helped with language development by associating picture with adjectives. There was only one character in the book and it was a boy but gender did not seem to play a role in the plot of the story. Rhyming was present with every other “Sentence”. In my opinion, “The Cat in the Hat Comes Back“ the most complex book because it had the most complex sentences and they plot was very long and detailed. I believe “Old Hat New Hat” was the simplest book because the sentences were the shortest and there was no major plot. The easiest book to memorize would be “The Foot Book” because it had the simple sentences and the most repletion of the words foot and feet.alexis pinknoreply@blogger.com
