APPS FOR IPHONE AND IPAD

As early as this week, one app will be available for iphone and ipad. I will have a temporary site set up - until I get my permanent Animalations itunes site up and going. I will tweet and blog the link. The first interactive app is MR. WALRUS AND THE OLD SCHOOL BUS. This app will be available at no charge - all around the world. It will include three tabs: I CAN READ, READ TO ME, PLAY FOR ME. The PLAY FOR ME tab will include the original song that sings the words in the text of the app. Children and adults will learn the song and be able to read the book, even if they are not fluent in English and/or pre-readers. Offering this ebook/app at no charge, we hope to provide a worldwide SPLASH of Animalations books.

The second book to be offered is RILEY THE RHINOCEROS. This ebook/app will be available in 2-3 weeks and will be available at a reduced price. Watch for updates.

Soon, each printed Animalations book will be available online, as an interactive app.

APPS UNDER CONSTRUCTION:
NOODLE AND BUTCH: look deeper: there is much more than you can see on the outside....
FLEMING THE LEMMING: help others solve problems - you're helping your fellowman...
GOOSE WITH THE DROOPY WING: work a little harder to catch up with all the rest...

Each of these apps will be interactive, musical and engaging. Each will also have a heart- warming message that will be delivered at the end of each app-ebook. At this time, we have no plans to re-print Animalations books. They will be available in interactive app format only. Therefore, if you have a set of Animalations books - keep them safe. They should become collectors items in the future. Happy reading and I will keep you updated.

111 WAYS TO HELP JUMP START YOUR CHILD'S LEARNING is the result of over 43 years in early childhood education, specializing in Montessori methods. Share this booklet with parents and teachers, as well as other educators. Animalations Publishing is so proud to offer this booklet as a FREE DOWNLOAD on animalations.com.
111 WAYS TO HELP JUMP START YOUR CHILD'S LEARNING is now available as a free download on animalations.com. This booklet is filled with creative ways to help your child progress in the early years. Samples are as follows:

Be a facilitator of learning rather than a teacher. To facilitate learning, be available to assist as needed and nurture the child on his road to learning. Generally, children need opportunities to learn - rather than being taught. Learning then becomes a product of experience.


Stimulate the brain through tactile experiences or simply through touch. There are 3000 nerve receptors located in the fingertip, just under the skin. Since a blind individual can obtain a college degree by tracing Braille dots with one finger, it makes sense that children learn and stimulate their brains by touching. Allow the child to repeatedly touch objects in the environment because the fingertip is a superhighway

to the brain.


Remember the toddler is a self-absorbed being. He is totally interested in self-gratification and instant gratification. Adults should never try to change the powerful person locked in a little body, but provide safe guards so the toddler can continue his journey with as little interruption as possible.


Give permission for the child to move ahead at his own speed rather than the speed of others in the group or in the family. Encourage the child’s teacher and/or care giver to allow the child to move on to the next level instead of waiting for others. Greater learning will take place if a child moves at his own speed.


....And the list goes on. DOWNLOAD your copy today - at no charge. Go to animalations.com and look for FREE DOWNLOAD.

Animalations.com books with original songs are being created as iphone/ipad apps. Be sure to watch for them in the next few weeks. The apps are interactive and educational for young children. By combining an original musical song that sings the words in the book, brain stimulation becomes strong enough to actually fire-neurons in the brain, that creates stronger connections between neurons. Stronger neuron connections make learner easier for children.

I have seen the working story line for the first app, Mr. Walrus and the Old School Bus. Your children are going to love the book and will enjoy interacting with the characters in the book. The app. becomes a complete learning experience by including the musical score, words to the song, science notes and teaching notes.

We'll keep you posted.
