I Would Like To Make One Thing

After All, Children Are Children No Matter Their Background.

I Think It's The Essence Of Any Film And Any Stage Production - Any Work Where You Do Work With Other People - Of Course Collaboration Is Hugely Important. One Does For Awhile Become Family.

When I Read To Children, I Try To Become The Characters. It's Great If You Can Make A Separate Voice For Each Character. Sometimes You Can Lower Your Voice With Excitement Or Get More Intimate About It: You Can Lean Forward And Engage The Children As A Narrator Or As A Reader. It's Particularly Important That You Find The Voice That You Want To Use For Each Character, Because Then Children Can Imagine That Person As You're Reading Aloud. And Of Course, The Illustrations Help Enormously.

If Somebody Can Act Out One Of The Books As A Play, If They Can See A Play, Film, Or Television Show That's Related, That Can Be So Stimulating For Them. Anything That Makes Children Engage And Think - And Love What The Story Is About - Can Only Bring The Most Enormous Rewards.

So Many Things That You Can Ask Children Hopefully Pique Their Interest And They Can Design And Think For Themselves. Having Children Draw And Illustrate What They Saw In Their Minds' Eyes During The Story Is A Tremendous Teaching Aid.
