Coquito Classico (2015 Edition)


Book Description

Coquito is an educational and scientific instructional book through which more than 38 million Spanish-speaking children have learned to read, write and think. Coquito is conceived and structured in 54 sequential lessons, with which the child is able to start reading and writing, opening a future of intellectual and emotional potential that raises their awareness and self-esteem. This provides great satisfaction to teachers and parents because the students' reading comprehension is high. The "Reading by Words Method", created with the book Coquito Clásico, is built on the children's vocabulary and on the unique feature of the Spanish language that is read as it is written and written as it is spoken, unlike other languages, whose phonetic complexity is remarkable. It is therefore not advisable to teach how to read in Spanish using methods from other languages such as English and French because it will extend the learning process up to fifteen months for what can be accomplished in three months using our method. The constant interest of the author and his team of specialists is to restructure and update the book according to the improvements and suggestions from teachers who use Coquito with remarkable success, exceeding expectations in most Spanish-speaking countries. Coquito Clásico brings graphic colored themes, illustrated with captivating visuals that engage and develop the child's imagination. This initiates the process of oral expression and reading as well as writing and mathematics. We thank the teachers and parents for using our materials, and we guarantee that they have chosen a method of proven quality and excellence that develops mental processes, taking into account the linguistic features of the Spanish language.

Coquito Escritura Script Con Razonamiento Verbal


Book Description

To write is to represent oral language through graphic elements known as letters. In the first grade, writing is reduced to formulating, through letters, words or sentences that are expressed orally. For this reason, reading and writing are consecutive stages. Given the concern to adequately manage learning the linguistic ability of writing, Ediciones Coquito presents to teachers and parents this activity book with exercises that reinforce verbal reasoning skills achieved with the textbook Coquito Clasico, guiding writing with the same scope and sequences in block letters or print style. This activity book presents multiple images that allow for the association of images and words with activities that enhance visual, auditory and motor discrimination skills. Through these activities, a child will be capable of observing, comparing, and finding similarities and differences in order to achieve increasingly higher levels of thinking and management skills. A child will learn correct movement patterns of the hands while writing and other basic motor skills, including improved dexterity in forming letters, better proportionality while tracing and spacing letters, and adequate writing speed. The exercises in this activity book are linked to verbal reasoning, so they are permanently used, avoiding a mechanical writing style and preparing children for the production of texts according to their creativity, which is powerfully stimulated with verbal reasoning. We hope to once more count on the acceptance of teachers and parents, and we are flattered to have contributed with one more instrument for the purpose of education.

Drinking with Dickens


Book Description

Drinking with Dickens is a light-hearted sketch by Cedric Dickens, the great-grandson of Charles Dickens. There are vivid and memorable drinking scenes in Dickens' books, and Drinking with Dickens abounds in recipes, many based on the drinks of Dickensian England and America: Bishop, Dog's Nose, Hot Bowl Punch, Milk Punch, Mint Julep, Sherry Cobbler, Shrub and Negus, to mention only a few. Unbelievably it seems to be the first book on this vast and important subject, and Cedric has added some recipes and experiences of his own. The Victorian sources include a penny notebook dated 1859 and kept by "Auntie Georgie," Georgina Hogarth, when she was looking after the younger children of Charles Dickens at Gads Hill. It starts with a recipe for Ginger Beer, a teetotal drink which calls for a quart of brandy! Then there is the catalogue for the sale of Gads Hill after Charles Dickens died which shows what was in the cellar at that time. This book transcends the generations. Cedric, with an eye for people and detail, describes a whole series of joyous episodes where drink, wisely taken, has been the catalyst.
