If children are to learn to love reading, they must have reading material which appeals to them and interests them. Reading material need not just be books. Magazines, newspapers and even comics have reading value and contain enough variety to appeal to all sorts of interests.

Children need to feel that reading is fun in order to want to do so. Whilst adults can appreciate the benefits of their actions, children often need a little motivation in the form of a tangible benefit in order to make an effort. Young children are easily persuaded by the promise of fun, but older children might require a special privilege or even a material reward to motivate them. Give children the opportunity to tell you what would motivate them. What do they feel would make reading worthwhile for them? What sort of literature would they like to read? Their answers may not be what you expect!

Print media is a lot of fun to use and a fabulous tool for encouraging reading. There is a tremendous range of magazines produced for children these days, covering a huge range of interesting topics. Newspapers contain a variety of content, making them suitable reading matter for most age ranges. Almost any child would find something of interest in the huge range of print media available.

An interesting exercise to encourage reading whilst using newspapers is to set each student the task of choosing an article from the newspaper, reading it, and then making an illustration which represents the article. The other students would then try to guess what the newspaper article was about, using the illustration as a guide. A class discussion could then follow, with the student kicking off by offering a summarization of the article.

Enlarging upon this idea further, you could guide students in their choice of article by offering a 'word of the day'. If you chose the word 'car', for example, students might choose articles on road building, the car industry, careers in driving, the ecological impact of cars, and so on. The word of the day could be chosen by yourself or by class vote, or you could even play a vocabulary game where the winner chooses.

The possibilities using magazines are diverse, and limited only by imagination. How about getting kids to choose a magazine article they are interested in, read it, and then prepare a short presentation for the rest of the class, illustrated with pictures from the magazine? For example, if the child was interested in animals he or she may choose an article on endangered species and show in their presentation where in the world those animals are found and their preferred environments. This is an excellent project for home schooled learners as well as classes, and can be adapted to suit a variety of ages. Ask your students to bring old magazines and newspapers into school from home in order to keep costs down and ensure that students have plenty of fresh material to work with. They could ask their friends and neighbours to contribute, and school faculty could also donate.

The key to encouraging children to read is to make it interesting for them. If they are interested they will enjoy it and want to continue reading more. The more they read, the more they will want to read!

A Useful Tool To Have In The Darkroom

Once you have a roll of film developed, dry, cut, and ready to use you can start your printing. The first thing you need to do is select a frame on the strip of negatives you would like to print. Remember that since the film will be in negative format, the brighter areas in the negative will be the dark or shadowy areas in the print. A frame, which appears to have many dark areas or many bright areas, is likely to be under or over exposed.

One recommendation is to bracket your shots when you shoot your roll of film, so you will have the choice of picking one of three exposures. When you have all your film cut into about five frames per strip, it is advisable to keep them safe in an archival film sleeve. Switch off the main light and switch on the infrared; do not switch on any other light until it is safe to do so.

Remove the strip of film with the frame you want to print and place it in the film holder shiny side up. The Film holder is placed above the lens of the enlarger. Replace the film holder with the film back into the slot in the enlarger. Switch on the enlarger; this will put on a light, which projects the light through a piece of convex glass, through the film to project the film onto the flat tray where the easel for holding the paper should be placed.

You can focus and adjust the size of the print by raising or lowering the enlarger with two knobs usually on the right side of the enlarger (one for moving the enlarger up and down, the other for fine focussing). A useful tool to have in the darkroom is a focus-finder; they help to focus the negative for sharpness, though it is quite possible to focus by eye once great care and careful movements are used. The easiest way to focus is by opening up the lens to its maximum aperture (just like you do with your camera) to allow the most light in for ease of focus as the image will be much brighter and easier to see.

What do you think about these as an alternative to a guest book ? For my beach wedding.?

Me and my fiance are getting married on the beach in August. (Clearwater Beach) Anyway we were wanting to get our names and date in the sand. (see website link) and since we were getting married on the beach, we want to enlarge the photo and frame it with a big matt board. Then have the framed print on an easel at the reception. Then our guests can sign the piece and we can hang it on our wall to enjoy that day forever. The poster is only $75, and we can get it framed at Michael's for about the same. Thanks for any feedback. here is the site. http://sandnames.com

We did the same thing, and Hobby Lobby is, by far, much cheaper than Michaels. Also, I had a friend of mine take pictures of each our our guests for our photo guest book. Instead of having a book of names that we will never look at we have an album of photos of each person who attended our wedding and also a photo hanging on our wall with all the cute wishes from everyone!
