Tunnell, Michael O. and James S. Jacobs. Children's Literature Briefly. 4e. Upper Saddle River NJ: Pearson/Merrill Prentice Hall, 2008.
We were assigned to read Tunnell and Jacobs chapter 18. In this chapter I really enjoyed reading the different stories about how people learn. It just shows you that people learn in ALL different ways and the person in each story is very intelligent. I think my favorite was about the little girl Cushla Yeoman who was born with handicaps and her doctors recommended she be put in an institution. Her parents felt otherwise and had seen her respond to books. She eventually overcame this handicap and her doctors pronounced her socially well adjusted. This story just shows the impact reading has on children. Even if the child can not read, when a parent reads to a child it has just as big an impact. The children still see the pictures and hear the words!!!
