Product Information

Author Luke Palmer introduces his new book, Play (Firefly Press) about four boys growing up together, the challenges, the friendships, and what hap... Mrs Foster was the teacher that first made me want to be a teacher myself and it was the way she read to us that did it. For years when reading I Am David, The Silver Sword and Children of the Oregon Trail I would see Mrs Foster’s lips when reading. I used to love watching her and listening to her read. These three books are still my three all time favourites and ones that I always share with classes of my own, books I chose to write about at University too. I owe much to Mrs Foster and feel sad that I do not know where she is in the world anymore as I would love to see her again and thank her for setting me on my way. The physical and emotional struggle to get from their seat to the front of the class to read their poem is conveyed by the use of weather and landscape similes. The child's struggle is felt in each complementing picture. The sense of growing resilience is evident in the repetition of 'but I keep going'. Eventually, the orange paint stroke carries the words read from a school notebook, out to all the class. Joyous. Watch your pitches. Depending on where your natural pitch and pitch variety are right now, you may need to work on this a lot, or just a little. Work on your overall pitch by consciously trying to speak in a lower tone, as often as you can remember. It's important to do this gradually though, just around a half-tone lower at a time. Work on your pitch variety by injecting different pitches in your sentences to add interest and emotion. Two ways to practice this are the following exercises: [7] X Trustworthy Source HelpGuide Nonprofit organization dedicated to providing free, evidence-based mental health and wellness resources.

MY BEAUTIFUL VOICE | Kirkus Reviews MY BEAUTIFUL VOICE | Kirkus Reviews

All in all, I think this is a beautiful, important book, especially for timid or shy children and anyone who is apprehensive about their own poetry. My Beautiful Voice is a stunning picture book about a shy, nervous girl who discovers her voice through the power of poetry. The young girl in this story is petrified at the thought of a poetry performance taking place at her school and her having to speak out loud. The girl meets her new Teacher, Miss Flotsam, who is full of worldly knowledge, bright with passion and a colourful character with lots of wonderful stories to tell. Miss Flotsam is a special teacher that gently motivates and encourages the little girl to write, to be brave and have the confidence to discover her beautiful voice. The girl writes her own poem, adding to it over time, another line, another verse, rhyming words until finally it is complete. At first, she whispers it in her teacher's ear and eventually she has the courage to be able to recite her poem out loud for all the class to hear. It's never clear whether the little girl is just very shy or perhaps has selective mutism, but it’s clear that she hasn’t said much for quite a while, and her confidence in speaking is very low. Either way, this is a gentle story that pays homage to the people that sometimes come into our lives to guide us through difficult times, and the power of a fantastic teacher.

Quite literally! A young androgynous child is made fun of because they don't speak. it seems a kind of voluntary mutism. But the new fabulous and vibrant teacher doesn't seem to mind and knows just how to handle this shy child. They are working on poetry, writing their own and the child is swept away. They feel something growing inside them. It's an empowering book. Although the child is anxious and apprehensive and the challenges they face in walking to the front of the class and read their poetry seem like walking in strong headwinds or climbing a mountain, but they persevere and their words ride out "tinkling at the windows, [and] jangling on the desks, whizzing around [their] smiling classmates" and they realize something very important.

Allison Colpoys’ stunning illustrations explode in a riot of colour, perfectly depicting the kind and expansive Miss Flotsam described by Coelho: the kind of teacher everyone would love to have. This visual treat of a book is filled with Coelho’s love for words and the magic of stories and rhyme, all of which have the power to transport us to other places – and the power to give us confidence, if we believe in our own voice.

So, I had this from Netgalley, but it disappeared and when I went to read it couldn't access it anymore. So, I found it, at all places, at my local library, but I had to put it on hold. It finally came about 3 months later!

Make a big yawn and let your jaw fall as low as it will comfortably. End the yawn by saying "ho-hum." Continue the "hum" for several seconds with your lips shut, and as you do so, move your jaw from side to side and let it hang a little. Do this several times. Mrs Foster was my fourth year junior teacher at St Barbara’s School in Wulfen, Germany. She was wonderful! She encouraged my love of singing and drama. She cast me as Mary in the school Nativity, Only A Baby. A visiting music teacher, Mr Parfitt, led that production but I know that it was Mrs Foster that ensured I play Mary. In assemblies and music sessions Mrs Foster encouraged us all and ‘fostered’ our talents and enthusiasms. Mrs Foster also helped me with my creative writing, praising my stories and poems.The illustrations are *very* vibrant with a lot of fluorescent (not my favorite, but hey) and bright colors. There are long swishy strokes of color that lend movement to the drawings and evoke the text beautifully. From the creators of If All The World Were, winner of the 2019 Independent Book Shop Picture Book Award which has been translated into 13 languages, this beautifully illustrated, powerful and heartwarming text shows children that everyone's voice can be powerful and beautiful, however small. Start by humming a simple “ee” sound. “Move” this noise up and down from your chest to your mouth. These are your resonators. Although the love comes shining through, the text often confuses in straining for patterned simplicity. With the encouragement on an enchanting and magical teacher, she writes a poem. But a poem is meant to be read aloud! She musters all her courage, stands at the front of the class and shows her classmates that she does have a voice. And her voice is BEAUTIFUL!

Learn to hone your “resonators". At the core of beautiful singing is the ability to create resonance, which is when your notes take on a rich, full sound. Listen to any opera singer to hear resonance at its best. Your voice echoes in your chest, mouth, and throat to gain depth. When you are singing with resonance, you feel a slight buzzing or vibrating feeling. To develop resonance, think about your voice's “placement.” Where do you feel the sound coming from? How does it move as you open your lips or move your tongue? Everyone is different, but there are some tips to keep in mind: Through poetic storytelling and stunning illustrations we feel every emotion the child feels as they make their way to the front of the class, overcoming every obstacle, clearing every hurdle to use their beautiful voice and share their wonderful words for the very first time. In My Beautiful Voice a young child is feeling nervous and scared at the thought of having to read aloud a poem to the rest of the class. The child writes enthusiastically but dreads the thought of having to stand up and speak in front of others.
