Which Cow?

Cow lovers will find great delight in sharing conversation about bovine topics with youngsters learning to read through the medium of a new children’s book launched today. “This Cow These Cows” is a delightful children’s picture book featuring photographs of cows contentedly going about cow business in their Australian rural habitats.

The book has been written by former teacher, Gary Boddy whose experience spans decades working with young children as private tutor and teacher in schools in Australia and the UK including the Queen’s Church of England School in London. It uses basic vocabulary with visual cues, rhyme and repetition, all proven techniques supporting children’s language development.

“Parents can assist their children well before they commence formal schooling to develop basic language skills, a prerequisite to achievement at the highest level,” said Gary Boddy.

“Spending time with children and sharing a book, whether reading to them or helping them read to you and discussing pictures and words are all positive steps parents can take to assist their children’s learning. This book gives parents many opportunities to discuss words and their meanings as well as concepts such as direction, location and time. It also provides moments for sharing a good laugh,” he said.

"This Cow These Cows" can be previewed and purchased through the publisher’s website: http://www.lulu.com/content/887843 or through Amazon and several other online bookstores.
