Why Personalized Books? First of all what are personalized books? A personalized book not only has the name of the child in the story, but incorporates them as a character in the story. That involvement grabs your childs interest, motivates them and helps build their self confidence. A [tag-self]childrens story[/tag-self] that is personalized makes learning fun and encourages reading. People, and children, natually learn quicker when they are doing something enjoyable or interesting.
 One of the very best times of your child’s life is when you interact with him or her by reading aloud.  and by helping him “read”.

Madeleine Hunter, an educator of great renown, who helped establish the University of California at Los Angeles’ (UCLA) Elementary School, was the first to develop an effective lesson plan format for teachers to use. She identified several vital factors for learning that were not included in most lessons taught to children. She incorporated these factors into her basic lesson plan. The basic lesson plan has been modified at times (for example, “State Standard Addressed” was added in the late 1990s), but the format has stood the test of time and performed well in helping schools raise test scores.
