AMERICA’S MOST ACCREDITED

We’re so proud!

Nationally only 10% of daycares are accredited – nearly 100% of our learning centers are. That’s a big difference,
and that means KinderCare kids are getting the very best. Here’s why.

SCHOOL-READY

What Learning Looks Like

Our talented early-childhood teachers set kids down the path toward becoming lifelong learners in a positive, safe, and nurturing environment.

Breezewood KinderCare Programs

Infant Programs (6 weeks–1 year)

Leaving your baby in someone else’s care is a big step. Everyone at our
centers—most importantly, our naturally gifted infant teachers—will work with
you to make sure the transition goes smoothly. When you step into our infant
classroom, you’ll see how much we want your infant to feel safe, loved, and
ready to explore their world.

Toddler Programs (1–2 Years)

Everything in our toddler classroom is designed for little explorers. That’s
because a lot is going on at this age. When your child is wandering all over the
place, that means they’re learning and discovering new things every day. We’ll
help them explore their interests (and find new ones!) as they play and learn.

Discovery Preschool Programs (2–3 Years)

This age is filled with so much wonder and curiosity. That’s why we offer a ton
of books and toys and bring artwork down to kids eye level. Children in
discovery preschool also begin to learn how we all work together in a
classroom. Simple math and science, pretend play, and group play help them
get used to a more structured school setting.

Preschool Programs (3–4 Years)

This age is all about expression, when kids really start to form their own ideas
about what they want to play and how they want to create. Every day in our
preschool classroom, your child will explore science experiments, create
artwork, and play pretend—all the skills needed for their big next step:
kindergarten!

Prekindergarten Programs (4–5 Years)

When you walk into one of our pre-K classrooms, you’ll see artwork and
writing displayed around the room. Labels are everywhere to help kids connect
letters with words. You’ll also see pictures on the walls that reflect the families
in our community.  Your child will also deepen their knowledge in language,
math, science, Spanish, and social skills.

Before- and After-School Programs (5–12 Years)

You can count on us to provide reliable care for your school-ager while you’re
at work, with safe transportation from our center to your child’s school and
back! Whether your child wants to start a drama club, build a volcano, or
create a comic book, they will have a place to follow their dreams. Your child
will start and end the day with a whole lot of fun!

School Break Programs (preschool, prekindergarten, and school-age)

Winter break, spring break, summer break—when school’s out (but you still need to work), you
can count on KinderCare to provide a safe and supportive learning environment that’s focused
on fun. We welcome children ages 5–12 during school break times and make sure they have a
sensational, screen-free experience they won’t forget.

Participating Child Care Aware Center

KinderCare partners with Child Care Aware® of America to offer fee assistance for
Active Duty military families and flexible support to fit their needs when care at a Child
Development Center on the installation is not available.

Learning Adventures – Enrichment Program

Cooking Academy™ (3 – 12 Years)

In Cooking Academy, kids learn new recipes from cultures around the world and
develop a healthy relationship with food. They’ll whip up everything from Southwest
rainbow lettuce wraps to pumpkin muffins, building their skills in STEM, communication,
and more along the way. And yes—little chefs get to eat their culinary creations!

Music Explorers™ (2 – 4 Years)

KinderCare families are already giving a standing ovation to our newest Learning
Adventures program: Music Explorers! Kids will learn to sing, move, listen, play
instruments, and even create their own tunes. Our original curriculum blends math,
science, social studies, literacy, and mindfulness (think yoga!) for a uniquely KinderCare
way of learning the foundations of music.

Phonics Adventures® (2 – 4 Years)

Learning how to read is a whole lot of fun at KinderCare! We help kids grow to love
books and words (and get ready for kindergarten) in our Phonics Adventures program.
From discovering the basics of vowels to practicing poetry, kids learn all about letters
and sounds in small-group lessons made just for their age group. (Bonus: Kids who
attend our phonics program are more prepared than their peers for school—and we
have the data to prove it.)

STEM Innovators (3-8 Years)

You’ve probably heard a lot about how important STEM education is for your child, but
what does that really mean? Our STEM Innovators program takes kids’ natural ability to
make sense of the world and applies it to robotics, chemistry, coding, geology, and
more. While your child experiments, they’ll discover how to use technology to do
amazing things!

Our Teachers

We’re the only company in early childhood education to select teachers based on natural talent. Being a great educator isn’t enough though.
KinderCare teachers are also amazing listeners, nurturers, boo-boo fixers, and smile-makers. Put more simply,
we love our teachers and your child will, too.

Meet just a few of our amazing KinderCare teachers!

A KINDERCARE TEACHER WITH

An Artist’s Heart

“My classroom is full of art!” says Mary Annthipie-Bane, an award-winning early childhood educator at KinderCare. Art and creative expression, she says, help children discover who they really are.

We put our best-in-class teachers in a best-in-class workplace. We’re so proud to have been named one of Gallup’s 37 winners of the Great Workplace Award.
When you put great teachers in an engaging center, your children will experience
an amazing place to learn and grow.

Family Stories

Don’t take our word for it. Hear what our families have to say about our amazing center!

  • I’ve had my children in other daycares and they never had more caring teachers than they do now. I have 3 special needs children and they fully accommodate my children in any way! I love it here and I’ll never change. The staff is wonderful!

    Michelle P. – KinderCare Parent
  • When my daughter was six months old we enrolled her in an in-home daycare and were very disappointed at the care received. My daughter had colic and needed to be held or sit upright most of the day; this in-home daycare was unable to take care of her and left us without care at the last minute. The Breezewood KinderCare was recommended to us. They took us in and treated my daughter as though she were one of their own. I felt comfortable from the start that she would be well taken care of. I cannot say enough about how much we love everyone here!

    Arianne M. – KinderCare Parent
  • Previously, my son attended another daycare company. Due to an unpleasant experience, we decided to find another alternative. We then found ourselves needing care because I found out I was having another baby. I had to find a place that felt comfortable to my heart where I could bring both new baby and our son, which scared me due to the previous issues we had with the other company. 
     
    Upon meeting the people at the Breezewood KinderCare, I can say I have nothing but positive words to say.  Ms. Kristie, the Director, and Ms. Wendy, the Assistant Director, have an open-door policy that they stick to maintaining with parents. I can also say that I feel comfortable talking to any of the teachers and office staff at this center.  All of the employees are kind and caring, so I never have to wonder if my children are being well cared for, which is one of the things, as a mom, I used to worry about.  People also worry about cost, but they have kept their cost affordable compared to other centers. 
     
    In regards to their programs, my infant daughter loves it here.  We have been there almost a year and my daughter is excelling in everything. They have a more hands-on infant program, which is wonderful for us and her development. Instead of putting your child in a jumper or play yard, they read, sing and work with them on their motor skills.  They also keep me well informed on my baby’s progress so I can continue working with her at home.  Additionally, my son now goes there for their summer camp and has a blast. His program features field trips, swimming days, and a lot of activities planned for the school age kids.  
     
    Overall, I would like to thank the people at Breezewood KinderCare for making such a difference in my life!

    Tammy – KinderCare Parent
  • After three years of family care my husband and I found ourselves in need of a daycare facility. My daughter is three and was going to attend a private preschool in the fall when our situation changed and we needed a full time daycare facility for her and our son, who is soon to be two. After meeting with a few daycare centers, I was becoming more and more reluctant. I decided to give it one last chance and contacted KinderCare. I must have called Ms. Kristen a dozen times with questions before I enrolled my children and she kindly answered each and every one of them. I visited the facility a few times before I enrolled my children. I had so many fears and anxiety when the first day came. The staff did so much to help me calm those fears, beginning with drop off, where Ms. Sharon made me and my daughter feel comfortable when we arrived. I didn’t want to leave my daughter standing there crying, my heart was breaking for her. Ms. Sharon took us to Ms. Tanya for drop off and, unfortunately ,the time had come for me to say goodbye. When I turned back around before the door closed, I saw Ms. Tanya bend down and looked to be hugging my daughter and immediately I was left with only the anxiety, not the fears. She wasn’t doing that for my benefit, she could no longer see me. She was doing that for my daughters benefit, even with other kids all trying to get her attention. Ms. Sharon in the meantime was ensuring me that how I felt was normal and I would feel that way for days to come. Due to my hours, I do not get a lot of interaction with her teachers, but she is always eager to tell me about her day. She says every day “I was crying but now I am smiling.” She told me that her teacher says that to her. She tells me that her teacher is always smiling. It makes me feel more comfortable knowing that they are taking the time to make my daughter comfortable.
     
    My son enrolled a week later and that was a whole other adjustment. My son is sensitive and can be, at times, very difficult. I wanted to make sure that I felt comfortable that the staff was going to give him the time and attention he needed. He is a terrible sleeper and wakes up very cranky from him naps. All of these things made me fearful to leave him at daycare. I was certain that strangers would not be able to calm him down and they would be calling me to come get him. That was before I met Ms. Deborah. My son took to Ms. Deborah immediately, but more importantly, Ms. Deborah took to him. Ms. Deborah is there when I drop him off in the mornings and in two short weeks I already feel comfortable leaving him with her, even if he is still crying when I leave. Often he is still crying when I leave but when he sees Ms. Deborah he will reach for her. He might not stop crying but clearly Ms. Deborah is treating him wonderful if he wants to go with her. Ms. Deborah will tell him she needs to finish something up. It makes me happy knowing that she is willing to engage with him. She will make sure everything is in order and everyone cared for and content and she will then take him from me. I often leave with her holding my son, rocking him. I have not had a lot of face to face interaction with Ms. Lindsay but every time I call she is always willing to speak with me and tell me how my son’s day is going, and never acts annoyed that I have called. Ms. Kaycee has been fantastic in relaying information from Ms. Lindsay to me. My son always seems calm and happy when he is in Ms. Kaycee’s care. She always takes the time I need to feel comfortable knowing about his day when I pick him up. She never rushes me out the door or makes me feel like a nuisance for asking too many questions. On a good day she will say our son “did so wonderful today”. It makes me happy that she is personalizing with him and makes me feel like he is cared for a child not a paycheck. She is very genuine when she tells me about his day, and it makes me feel very comfortable.
     
    Beside the obvious of wanting to feel comfortable with the staff, the most important thing I was looking for was education. I wanted to make sure that my children would be learning, as well as having fun. Every day my daughter tells me something new that Ms. Yudis has taught her that day. My son has already started to use his words better, and in a very short time has become a better communicator. He not only uses his words better but he has begun to incorporate sign language. All clear signs that my children are being taught, as well as they are being cared for at KinderCare. While I am nowhere near the comfortable phase as a whole, I am already well ahead on my comfort level than I ever thought. I want to thank everyone at KinderCare that has made that happen. Ms. Kristen and Ms. Wendy have both been so helpful and are truly available any time you need them.

    Parent – KinderCare Parent
  • As a musical performer for children, I play music for kids in literally hundreds of centers each year.   And every once in a while I come across a center worker deserving of a shout-out.  I’d like to recognize the amazing summer programs coordinator at Breezewood KinderCare, Ms. Susan Rolka.  The day I performed at her center this past summer, I had lots of time to watch her interacting with her school-age children.  Ms. Rolka truly has a gift with kids.  She keeps them constantly engaged with creative interaction, and turns every little activity into a fun learning experience.  And it was clear that she has won the hearts and the respect of her kids.  She’s an extraordinary teacher, and a credit to her center.

— KelleAnne Surine

Absolutely the best child care great teachers and staff my son absolutely loves going he wakes up and ask if he is going to school today highly recommended!!!

— David Massey

My son has been attending Callahan for almost 2 years and he loves it. I was hesitant about daycare but have been happy since day one. The staff and teachers really care about the kids. We were so sad when Callahan had to close due to covid. I never looked to send him anywhere else. I knew we wanted to stick with Callahan. He has learned so much and come so far.

Sullins College

Sullins College [3] was a former Methodist, women’s, junior college in Bristol, Virginia, United States, founded around 1868 and named after David Sullins, a Methodist minister. The operation ceased after he completed the 1976 course.

History

Founded in 1870, it became a branch of the Methodist Church in 1873. [1] It started out as a high school and junior college. Its first location was in the center of Bristol.

The entire building burned down during the Christmas holidays at the end of December 1915, and the Methodist Church decided not to rebuild. William E. Martin, an Alabama Methodist pastor who had previously been president of Sullins, was persuaded by some Bristol residents to return to Bristol and reopen the school. He did, and the school was rebuilt in a brand new location in a residential area of ​​Bristol, on high ground overlooking the city. No longer a Methodist institution, Martin ran it as a private girls’ school controlled by his family. It attracted clients from wealthy families throughout the Southeast who were looking for an undergraduate college with the prestige of Virginia. [4] The new facility opened in September 1917.

In the 1930s, Martin opened a branch office, Arlington Hall, on the outskirts of Virginia Washington, DC. During World War II, Arlington Hall was closed, and the facilities came under the control of the federal government, which operated it as the American Bletchley Park – a top-secret facility where enemy radio messages were carefully deciphered. The facility is still a state-owned enterprise.

Sullins College in Bristol remained under the control of the Martin family until 1960s when they handed it over to an independent board of trustees. The junior college celebrated its centenary in 1970. The college continued to operate, additional buildings were built. By the 1970s, however, women’s colleges were no longer as fashionable as they once were, and as a two-year college, Sullins was especially vulnerable to change. The peak enrollment in 1968 of almost 400 quickly declined so that by the fall of 1972 there were only 102 freshmen from 30 states and five foreign countries. [5] [6]

Faced with a million dollar debt in February 1975 and an insufficient enrollment, the trustees offered the school to the State of Virginia in exchange for the state taking over the school’s debt. The State Board of Higher Education did not recommend the acquisition, and the proposal was rejected by the Governor in late October 1975. [5] In early 1976, the school was valued at $16 million and the campus covered 75 acres (30 ha) with 14 buildings in addition to the 50-acre (20 ha) Sequyoa Camp. [7]

In April 1976, the board of trustees reached an agreement with the city to move the school into the city’s school system to operate as a coeducational institution. The city will assume the school’s $1.2 million debt, retain the college’s name, and use the property for educational purposes only. [7] The agreement with the city failed, and after graduation from the class of 1976, Sullins College closed in July. There was no alternative owner of the college. Ownership eventually passed to United Coal Company, now known simply as United Company, an investment firm.

Queen’s University, in Bristol, Tennessee, is the custodian of Sullins College’s records and maintains an active relationship with the institution’s alumni. [8]

Student life

For most of its existence, the college took responsibility for the behavior of its students under the direction of instead of parents . This was a typical example in 1911 when two girls were expelled from school who were riding in a car with two boys from nearby King’s College. The girls were being held for their parents to come after them when they ran away with the two boys. As a result, college officials and police harassed couples in Tennessee. The stalkers failed to apprehend the girls as the stalkers found them in Hawkins County, Tennessee minutes after the couple’s wedding. The criminal charges of the two boys involved were discussed. [9]

The school newspaper was Reflector .’ [2] Phi Theta Kappa chapter plus several student clubs operated on campus. The school yearbook was Sullins Sampler . [10] In 1946, Sampler won third place in a Methodist competition among over 300 schools participating in a competition held by the Columbian Scholastic Press Association. [11]

The graduating class of 1955 donated a group of five Peter Pan statues that were placed around the pool on campus. [12]

The school operated at Camp Sequoia. South Holston Lake. [2]

Sullins Academy

. The school added grades until it became a K-8 school. In the process, the church building ran out of space. After the college closed at 7In 1976, in the summer of 1977, the school moved to the Martin Hall campus, naming it Sullins Academy to better denote its non-sectarian nature. [13] The Academy remained there until 1999, when it moved to a newly built facility on 32 acres (13 ha) in Bristol, Virginia. [14]

            History

            The Monacan Indian Nation and other Sioux Tutelo-speaking tribes have lived in the area since at least 1270, driving the Virginia Algonquians east into the coastal regions. The explorer John Lederer visited one of the Siouan villages (Sapony) in 1670 on the Staunton River at Otter Creek, southwest of the modern city, as did the 1671 expedition of Thomas Butts and Robert Fallam.

            The Siouan peoples occupied the area until about 1702; they weakened due to high mortality from infectious diseases. The Seneca people, who were part of Haudenosaunee , or the Iroquois Confederacy based in New York, defeated them. The Seneca traveled south, seeking new hunting grounds through the Shenandoah Valley to the west. In the Treaty of Albany in 1718, the five nations of the Iroquois ceded control of their land east of the Blue Ridge, including Lynchburg, Colony of Virginia; they confirmed this in 1721.

            Founding and early growth

            First settled by Anglo-Americans in 1757, Lynchburg was named after its founder, John Lynch. When he was 17 years old, Lynch began a ferry service across the ford of the James River to carry passengers to and from New London, where his parents settled. The “City of Seven Hills” developed rapidly in the hills surrounding Lynchs Ferry.

            In 1786, the Virginia General Assembly recognized Lynchburg, a settlement at Lynchs Ferry on the James River. The James River Company had been incorporated the previous year (and President George Washington received shares he donated to charity) to “improve” the river to Richmond, which grew and was named the new capital of the Commonwealth. The shallow draft boat on the James River was a relatively easy means of transportation through Lynchburg to Richmond and eventually the Atlantic Ocean. Rocks, fallen trees, and flood debris were a constant hazard, making their removal a costly ongoing maintenance. Lynchburg became a trading tobacco, then a commercial, and much later an industrial center.

            The state eventually built a canal and trail along the river to facilitate waterway transportation, and especially to provide a waterway around the falls in Richmond, which hindered boat navigation. By 1812, U.S. Chief Justice John Marshall, who lived in Richmond, reported navigational difficulties and construction problems on the canal and trail.

            The General Assembly recognized the growth of the settlement, incorporating Lynchburg as a city in 1805; it was not incorporated as a city until 1852. Meanwhile, Lynch built the first Lynchburg Bridge over the James River, a toll structure that replaced it with a ferry in 1812. The toll highway to Salem, Virginia was started in 1817. Lynch died in 1820 and was buried next to his mother in the churchyard of the South River Friends Meeting House. The Quakers later left the city due to their opposition to slavery. The Presbyterians occupied the prayer house and converted it into a church. Now it has been preserved as a historical site.

            To avoid the large number of visitors to Monticello, Thomas Jefferson built a plantation and house near Lynchburg in 1806 called Poplar Wood. He frequented the city, remarking, “Nothing will give me greater pleasure than being of service to the city of Lynchburg. I think it’s the most interesting place in the state.” In 1810, Jefferson wrote, “Lynchburg is perhaps the most growing place in the US … It now stands next to Richmond in importance …”

            The early inhabitants of Lynchburg were not known for their religious enthusiasm. The traditional Anglican church allegedly built a log church in 1765. In 1804, evangelist Lorenzo Doe wrote: “…where I spoke outdoors in a place which I conceived to be the seat of the Kingdom of Satan. Lynchburg was a deadly place for the worship of God.” It was about the lack of churches, which was corrected the following year. Itinerant Methodist Francis Asbury visited the city; The Methodists built their first church in 1805. Lynchburg hosted the last Virginia Methodist conference attended by Bishop Asbury (February 20, 1815). As Lynchburg grew, prostitution and other “hooligan” activities became part of the river town’s urban mix. They were often ignored, if not accepted, especially in the city center called “The Buzzard’s Nest”. Methodist preacher and later bishop John Early became one of Lynchburg’s civic leaders; in contrast to early Methodist preachers who called for the abolition of slavery during the Great Awakening; Early belonged to a later generation who adapted to this institution in the slave societies of the South.

            On December 3, 1840, the James River and Kanawha Canal from Richmond reached Lynchburg. It was extended to Buchanan, Virginia in 1851, but never reached a tributary of the Ohio River as originally planned. By 1840, the population of Lynchburg exceeded 6,000 and a water supply system was built. The floods of 1842 and 1847 damaged the canal and trail. Both have been refurbished. City businessmen began lobbying for the construction of the railroad, but the Virginia General Assembly refused to fund such construction. In 1848, civic activists began selling subscriptions to the Lynchburg and Tennessee Railroad.

            By the 1850s, Lynchburg (along with New Bedford, Massachusetts) was one of the wealthiest cities in the United States per capita. Tobacco (including the production of tobacco products in factories using indentured slave labor), the slave trade, general trade, and the production of iron and steel stimulated the economy.

            Railways have become the wave of the future. Construction of the new Lynchburg and Tennessee Railroad began in 1850, and a locomotive was tested in 1852. Later that year, in Forest, Virginia (near Poplar Forest), a locomotive called the Lynchburg exploded, demonstrating the dangers of the new technology. Two more railways were built for the Civil War, including the Southern Railway from Petersburg. In 1870 it became known as the Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio Railroad, then the Norfolk and Western Railroad line, and the latter as part of the Norfolk Southern Railroad. The Orange and Alexandria Railroad stopped at Lynchburg.

            American Civil War

            Lynchburg served as a Confederate transportation hub and supply depot during the American Civil War. It had 30 hospitals, often housed in churches, hotels, and private homes.

            In June 1864, the allied forces of General David Hunter approached within 1 mile, moving south from the Shenandoah Valley. Confederate troops under General John McCausland pursued them. Meanwhile, the city’s defenders hastily erected parapets on Amherst Heights. The defenders were led by General John S. Breckinridge, who was disabled from wounds received at the Battle of Cold Harbor. Union General Philip Sheridan appeared at Lynchburg on June 10, when he crossed the Chickahomine River and cut the Virginia Central Railroad. However, Confederate cavalry under General Wade Hampton, including the 2nd Virginia Cavalry from Lynchburg under General Thomas T. Munford, defeated his forces in the two-day Battle of Trevillian Station in Louise County, and they withdrew. This allowed fast marching troops under Confederate General Jubal Early to reach within four miles of Lynchburg on June 16 and cut off the tracks of the Orange and Alexandria Railroad to impede the movement of Union reinforcements while Confederate reinforcements approached from Charlottesville.

            On June 18, 1864, at the Battle of Lynchburg, Early’s combined forces, although outnumbered, repulsed those of Union General Hunter. The defenders of Lynchburg did their best to give the impression that the Confederate forces in the city were much larger than they actually were. For example, the train kept running on the tracks while the drummers played, and the people of Lynchburg cheered as if reinforcements had landed. Local prostitutes took part in the deception, misleading their Union clients about the large number of Confederate reinforcements. Narcissa Owen (Cherokee), wife of the president of the Lynchburg and Tennessee Railroad, later wrote of a similar deception by Allied spies.

            From April 6 to April 10, 1865, Lynchburg served as the capital of Virginia after the Confederate government fled Richmond. Governor William Smith and the Commonwealth executive and legislature fled to Lynchburg when Richmond surrendered on 3 April. General Robert E. Lee surrendered to General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Courthouse, about 20 miles (32 km) east of Lynchburg. end of the civil war. Lynchburg surrendered on April 12 to Union General Ranald S. Mackenzie.

            Confederate Brigadier General James Deering died ten days later. He was a native of neighboring Campbell County and a descendant of John Lynch; he was wounded on 6 April at the High Bridge during that Appomattox campaign. Mackenzie visited his wounded friend and former West Point classmate, facilitating the transition of power.

            Civil War Rebuilding

            The railroads that powered Lynchburg’s economy were destroyed by the end of the war. The people of the city deeply resented the occupying forces under General J. L. Gregg and were more willing to work with his affable successor, General N. M. Curtis. Thomas J. Kirkpatrick became Superintendent of Public Education created under the Virginia Reconstruction-era legislature and the Constitution of 1869years, and built four new public schools. Previously, the only education for students from poor backgrounds was provided through St. Paul’s Episcopal Church.

            Floods in 1870 and 1877 destroyed the city’s bridges (which were rebuilt) and the James River and Kanahwa Canal (which were not rebuilt). The towpath was used as the basis for the rail-laying of the Richmond and Allegheny Railroad, a project conceived five decades earlier.

            The boundaries of the city were extended in 1874. In 1881 this railroad was completed to Lynchburg and another railroad reached it via the Shenandoah Valley. Lynchburg had a telegraph office, about 15,000 residents, and the birth of the streetcar system. Many citizens, believing that their city was crowded enough, did not join the activists who wanted Lynchburg to be the crossroads of this valley and what became the Norfolk and Western Railway, so the crossroads was moved to Big Lick. It later developed into the city of Roanoke.

            Lynchburg, circa 1919

            In the latter half of the 19th century, Lynchburg became industrialized (sometimes referred to as “South Pittsburgh”). On a per capita basis, it has become one of the richest cities in the United States. In 1880, Lynchburg resident James Albert Bonsac invented the first cigarette rolling machine. Shortly thereafter, Dr. Charles Brown Fleet, physician and master of pharmacology, introduced the first microclyster, which was mass-sold without a prescription. By the city’s centenary in 1886, banking activity had grown six times its 1860 level, which some attribute to the decline of slavery. Lynchburg Cotton Mill and Craddock-Terry Shoe Co. (which would become the largest shoe manufacturer in the South) were founded in 1888. The hydroelectric dam in Reusens started working at 1903 and soon gave more electricity.

            In 1886 Virginia Baptists founded a teaching school, Lynchburg Baptist Seminary. It began offering a college-level program to African American students in 1900. Now called Lynchburg University of Virginia, it is the city’s oldest institution of higher education. Not far outside the city, Randolph-Macon Women’s College and Sweet Briar College were established as women’s colleges in 1893 and 1901, respectively. At 1903, the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) established Lynchburg Christian College (later Lynchburg College) on the site of the former Westover Resort Hotel which had gone bankrupt during the Panic of 1901. During the 2018/2019 academic year, the college’s name was changed to Lynchburg University, reflecting the expansion of graduate programs and research. Lynchburg’s first public library, the Jones Memorial Library, opened in 1907.

            World War I Memorial in downtown Lynchburg

            During World War I, the city’s factories supported the war effort and the area also supplied troops. The city survived the Roaring Twenties and survived the Great Depression. Its first radio station, WLVA, was launched in 1930 and the airport opened in 1931. In 1938, the former fairgrounds were rebuilt and are now located next to the football and baseball stadiums.

            World War II and after

            During World War II the Lynchburg factories were again open 24 hours a day. At 19In 1955, General Electric and Babcock & Wilcox built high-tech factories here.

            Lynchburg lost an attempt to gain access to the interstate. In the late 1950s, concerned citizens, including Virginia Senator Mosby G. Perrow, Jr., petitioned the federal government to change the long-planned route to the interstate now known as I-64 between Clifton Forge and Richmond.

            Since the 1940s, maps of the Federal Interstate Highway System have shown a proposed northern route, bypassing the Lynchburg and Roanoke manufacturing centers. But federal officials assured Virginia that the state would determine the route. While initially supporting this northern route, the Virginia State Highway Commission eventually supported the southern route from Richmond via US-360 and US-460, which connected Lynchburg and Roanoke via US-220 from Roanoke to Clifton Forge and then continued west on US-60 to West Virginia. But on July 1961 Gov. J. Lindsey Almond and U.S. Secretary of Commerce Luther Hodges announced that the route would not be changed. Lynchburg remained the only city of over 50,000 (at the time) that was not served by an interstate highway.

            Virginia Colony for Epileptics and Dementia (now known as Central Virginia School), was established outside of Lynchburg at Madison Heights. For several decades in the mid-20th century, the state of Virginia permitted the forced sterilization of the mentally handicapped for the purposes of eugenics. Operations were carried out in the institution. Approximately 8,300 Virginians were relocated to Lynchburg and sterilized there, making the city a “junkyard” for the feeble-minded, the poor, the blind, those with epilepsy, and those otherwise considered “genetically unfit.” Carrie Buck challenged government sterilization, but the U.S. Supreme Court finally upheld her in Case Buck vs Bell . She was classified as “feeble-minded” and spayed while in the Virginia State Penitentiary.

            Sterilization was carried out for 35 years until 1972 when operations were stopped. Later, in the late 1970s, the American Civil Liberties Union filed a class action lawsuit against the state of Virginia on behalf of the sterilization victims. In the settlement, the victims received a formal apology from the state and advice if they wished, but the judiciary denied the state’s requests to pay for reverse sterilization surgeries. At 19In ’94, Buck’s sterilization and trial was featured in the television drama Against Her Will: The Carrie Buck Story . The Manic Street Preachers address the issue in their song “Virginia’s Epileptic Colony” on their 2009 album Journal For Plague Lovers .

            Modern Vibration

            Founded in 1971 as Lynchburg Baptist College and renamed in 1985, Liberty University is one of the nation’s largest institutions of higher education and the largest employer in the Lynchburg region. The university claims to bring over $1 billion in economic impact to the Lynchburg area each year.

            Lynchburg has ten recognized historic districts, four of which are in a downtown residential area. Since 1971, 40 buildings have been individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

            Downtown Lynchburg has undergone a significant redevelopment, with hundreds of new loft-style apartments created through the adaptive reuse of historic warehouses and factories. Since 2000, downtown has attracted more than $110 million in private investment, and business activity has grown by 205% from 2004 to 2014. In 2014, 75 new apartments were added in downtown Lynchburg, with 155 more under construction, increasing the number of downtown housing units by 48% from 2010 to 2014.

            The $5.8 million Lower Bluffwalk Walkway opened in 2015. Notable projects underway downtown by the end of 2015 include the $25 million Virginian Hotel restoration project, the $16.6 million restoration of the Academy Arts Center, and the $4.6 million expansion of the Amazement Square Children’s Museum.

          The Greater Lynchburg Transportation Company (GLTC) operates local public transit bus service within the city. GLTC also provides a shuttle bus service around the Liberty University campus.

          GLTC selected a property directly across from Lynchburg-Kemper Street Station at its top selection site on which to build a new transfer center for its public bus network. They were interested in facilitating intermodal connectivity between GLTC buses and the intercity bus and rail services that operate from the location. The project was completed and opened to the public on June 16, 2014.

          On August 23, 2017, GLTC launched The Hopper, a free circulating air bus downtown, with a $479,348 grant from the Virginia Smart Scale program. On June 29, 2019, GLTC terminated service to The Hopper due to “persistently low attendance” and the expiration of a $117,820 government subsidy covering operating costs.

          Greyhound and Amtrak operate from Kemper Street station.

          Intercity transit

          Intercity passenger trains and buses are based at Kemper Street Station, a historic three-story railway station recently restored and converted by the City of Lynchburg to serve as an intermodal transportation hub for the community. The station is located at 825 Kemper Street.

          Bus

          Greyhound Lines located their bus terminal on the main floor of Kemper Street Station after its 2002 restoration. Greyhound offers transportation to other cities in Virginia, USA, Canada and Mexico.

          Railroad

          Railroad Station’s intercity Crescent and Northeast Regional Connect Lynchburg to Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Charlotte, Atlanta, Birmingham, New Orleans and points in between.

          In October 2009, Lynchburg became the southern terminus of in the Northeast Region, which had previously spent the night in Washington. The projected number of passengers in the first year of the 180 mile expansion was 51,000, but the actual number of passengers was three times the estimate and the train paid for itself without any subsidies. By fiscal year 2015 at Regional had 190,000 riders. The Lynchburg station alone handled a total of 85,000 passengers in 2015. It is located on the ground floor of the Kemper Street railway station.

          There are two main freight railroads in Lynchburg. It is the junction of the two southern lines of Norfolk. One of them is the former main line of the Southern Railway, on which the Kemper Street station is located. NS has a classification yard located next to the mall. You can see various yard works. Railroad fans wishing to visit the NS Lynchburg shipyard are advised to contact an NS official. CSX Transportation also has a city line and a small yard.

American Eagle, a subsidiary of American Airlines, is currently the only scheduled air service provider with seven daily arrivals and departures at Charlotte Douglas International Airport. Air travel has increased in recent years, with 157,517 passengers flying to and from the airport in 2012, representing 78% of the total aircraft load factor over that time period.

          Politics

          Lynchburg has traditionally been a conservative stronghold. This predates the influence of Liberty University; it was one of the first areas in the state where old Byrd Democrats began to share their tickets nationally. However, conservative Democrats continued to hold most local offices well into the 1970s.

          However, since 19In the 1990s, the popularity of the Democratic Party in the city gradually grew, and the political atmosphere in Lynchburg became more and more moderate. In the 2020 United States presidential election, a majority of voters in Lynchburg voted for Democratic nominee Joe Biden over incumbent Republican Donald Trump. Biden was the first Democrat to take Lynchberg with him since Harry S. Truman in 1948.

    First grade vocabulary words include words kids should know and understand at this age level. Students don’t need to be able to spell or read the words to understand their meanings. Vocabulary words are different from first grade spelling words and even first grade sight words. Get started learning new words with these lists of 1st grade vocabulary words and their meanings.

Vocabulary: Activities for Your Second Grader

Talking to and reading with your kindergartner are two terrific ways to help them hear and read new words. Conversations and questions about interesting words are easy, non-threatening ways to get new words into everyday talk.

Even very young children love to hear and learn new words! Help your child expand their word bank and knowledge of the world by using interesting and vivid words instead of simpler language in your everyday conversations.

Reading aloud exposes your child to lots of vivid language that is not found in books for beginning readers. When you come upon a new and interesting word, take the time to stop and ask your child what they think that word might mean in the context of the story. Then offer a kid-friendly definition of the word and connect it to a similar word and a shared experience.

Give them great words

Children’s author Jane Yolen (Owl Moon, How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight?) delights in using rich language in her picture books. In this clip from our video interview with Yolen, she says she often has to fight to keep good words — that really stretch vocabulary learning — in her picture books.

Word learning and vocabulary growth takes time and patience. Don’t expect your child to learn a new word after one conversation or one read aloud. True word learning happens after being exposed to words several times. We all learn about words throughout our lifetime. You’re getting your child off to a great start by developing an early interest in words.

Read aloud every day

Reading aloud to your child and having your child read books on their own is the best way to increase their vocabulary. Books provide words they won’t encounter in everyday conversations as the language of books is more complete and formal than talking. A great story also provides context and illustrations for learning a new word.

Bring in the nonfiction

Nonfiction and informational books (such as the DK Eyewitness series) offer young children a treasure chest of new and interesting words about our world. If the book has a glossary, spend some time discussing the words with your child, and as you read aloud stop as often as needed to think about new words and how they connect to what your child already knows about. Learn more in this article, The Vocabulary of Science.

Talk about new words during read alouds

Talking to and reading with your child are two terrific ways to help them hear and read new words. Conversations and questions about interesting words are easy ways to get new words into everyday talk. “The book says, ‘The boy tumbled down the hill,’ and look at the picture! How do you think he went down the hill?”

Sharing a new word with your child doesn’t have to take a long time: just a few minutes to talk about the word and then focus back on the book or conversation. Choose which words to talk about carefully — choosing every new word might make reading seem like a chore. The best words to explore are ones that are less common to see in the books your child might read. When introducing new words to your young learner, keep the following four helpful hints in mind:

  1. Provide a simple, kid-friendly definition for the new word: Enormous means that something is really, really big.
  2. Offer a simple, kid-friendly example that makes sense within their daily life: Remember that really big watermelon we got at the grocery store? That was an enormous watermelon!
  3. Encourage your child to develop their own example: What enormous thing can you think of? Can you think of something really big that you saw today? That’s right! The bulldozer near the park was enormous! Those tires were huge.
  4. Keep your new words active within your house. Over the next few days and weeks, take advantage of opportunities to use each new vocabulary word in conversation. Kids often need to hear a new word in context ten times or more before they “know” that word.

How do I help my child learn new words while we read aloud?

Literacy expert Sandra Wilborn suggests that parents pause during the read aloud to elaborate on a new word by giving a simple definition, connecting the word to something your child knows, and using it in a sentence. Reinforce the learning by using that new word at home in the weeks ahead. (From our video series Reading SOS: Expert Answers to Family Questions About Reading.)

Be a word detective!

Families can help develop word knowledge through simple conversations focused on words. For example:

Start at the root. Begin with a simple root word, such as push. Ask your child to come up with words they know that contain that word, such as pushing, pushed, pushover, push-up. Talk about how all these words have some shared meaning related to the word push.

Multiple meanings. Many words have more than one meaning. While sitting at the dinner table, choose a word and brainstorm as many meanings and uses for the word as you can think of. Some words to start with: spring, frame, check, light.

Consider the prefix. Numeric prefixes like bi- and tri- are a part of many words kids know and use. Discuss words like tricycle, triceratops, triangle. All these words share the prefix tri-, which means three. Can they develop a list of words that begin with the prefix bi- (like bicycle and binoculars)? This gives you a great chance to introduce new words, like bicentennial, bicep, and biped. You can generate similar word lists with the numeric prefixes uni, octo, and cent.

Multiple meaning match

Try this activity from the Florida Center for Reading Research (FCRR). The FCRR “At Home” series was developed especially for families! Watch the video and then download the activity: Multiple Meaning Match. See all FCRR vocabulary activities here.

Explore your world

Visits to a museum, the zoo, the botanical garden, historical sites, and even your neighborhood park are terrific opportunities to introduce your child to new words. Spend some time looking at the signage and identifying new words, then connecting them to what you see right there.

“What’s another word for …”

This game helps your child learn there’s more than one word for everyday things. For example, look around you and say, “what’s another word for couch?” (sofa, ottoman). Or, if your child is doing a unit at shool on weather, for example, ask “what’s another word for hurricane?” (typhoon). You can extend the game by talking about how two things are similar but not exactly alike (small, microscopic). That helps your child learn about the subtle differences in related words.

Should I tell my child to look up words in the dictionary?

It’s still okay to encourage your child to look up unfamiliar words in the dictionary (remember to do it with them!) — but that’s just the first step. Literacy expert Sandra Wilborn says that vocabulary development is a process that requires lots of exposure to a word in order to really learn it. Find out about the other simple things parents can do to reinforce word learning. (From our video series Reading SOS: Expert Answers to Family Questions About Reading.)

Science in second grade is a lot of fun! There are many interesting topics to be studied and many new vocabulary words to be learned. Read on to find out about the topics and vocabulary that you will study in second grade!

Science Vocabulary for Second Graders

The world is a busy place! From plants and animals to the weather, there is a lot happening all around us! As a second grader, you will learn about these topics, plus many more. Let’s take a look at some of the science topics that you will study this year and the vocabulary words that go with each topic!

Earth Science

Have you ever dug a hole in the ground before? As you dug, you probably noticed that the surface of the Earth is made up of different materials, such as fine sand, thick dirt, small pebbles, and larger rocks. These materials make up different shapes in the land, as well. Here are some of the materials and landforms that make the Earth’s surface so unique!

Valley

Boulder: A very, very large rock.

Mountain: A very large hill.

Plain: A flat area of land.

Rock: A hard material found on Earth. It is not living.

Sand: Tiny pieces of rock.

Soil: The top layer of Earth’s surface. This is usually loose, and not packed tightly together.

Valley: A very low area of Earth’s surface, usually set between two higher pieces of land, such as mountains.

Life Science

Take a walk through the woods and you will notice a busy community of living things. Plants are growing and animals are scurrying around. You may even notice animals and plants relying on one another; an animal might be curled up in a nest in a tree or eating the leaves off of a plant. This is called life science, and it is a big topic that you will study in second grade! Here are some of the many vocabulary words that are used to describe life science!

Forest

Adaptation: Something that an animal does or has in order to survive. For example, a porcupine has quills to defend itself against predators.

Camouflage: What an animal does to blend with its environment. For example, a chameleon will turn green when sitting on a leaf, so it will not be seen.

Endangered: When a species of animal is in danger of not living anymore.

Environment: All of the things that make up a certain place. These things can be living, such as trees, or nonliving, such as rocks.

Extinct: An animal or plant that is not living anymore. For example, dinosaurs are extinct.

Food Chain: Animals eat plants and other animals in a particular order. For example, a mouse eats a plant, a snake eats the mouse, and an owl eats the snake.

Habitat: A place where an animal finds everything it needs to survive including shelter, water, and food.

Matter

Have you ever noticed that an ice cube turns into a puddle if it’s left on the floor and a pot of water can disappear into the air when it is boiled? This is matter! Matter is what everything in our world is made of and is one of the fun topics that second graders get to explore. Here are some of the vocabulary words that describe matter.

Boiling Water

Matter: What all things in the world are made of!

Solid: Matter can be solid, like a basketball or a building block. These are objects that have a shape.

Liquid: Matter can be liquid, like milk or water. This type of matter does not have a shape and can move freely.

Gas: Matter can be a gas, like the air you breathe. This type of matter does not have a shape and can completely fill another object, such as a balloon.

Weather

Chances are, you woke up this morning and looked out the window to check the weather. You probably checked to see if it was warm or cold outside, and whether it was rainy or sunny. Weather influences a lot of the decisions that we make throughout our day! So, what are the different types of weather that you will study in second grade?

Tornado

Blizzard: A type of storm that has both strong winds and heavy snowfall.

Hurricane: A type of storm that has strong winds and heavy rain. It often happens near the ocean and creates big waves, as well!

Thunderstorm: A type of storm that has rain, thunder, and lightening.

Tornado: A cloud that spins and creates a funnel shape. It has very strong winds, as well.

Lesson Summary

As you can see, there is a lot to learn in second grade science! You will learn about everything from the life that is found on Earth, to the surface of our planet, and to the weather that surrounds us. Hopefully you learned some new vocabulary words to get you started on your second grade science journey today. Enjoy!

Second Grade Spelling Curriculum Sequence

The spelling curriculum for second grade should cover second grade dolch words, advanced phonics, and compound words.

For example, spelling words include frequently used, irregular words such as WAS, WERE, SAYS, SAID, WHO, WHAT, and WHY. Second grade children are expected to master short-vowel, long-vowel, r- controlled, and consonant-blend patterns correctly. Words using the -ight ending are introduced, including BRIGHT, FLIGHT, and NIGHT, plus a few compound words are included in second grade spelling word lists including GRANDFATHER, BEDROOM, and SAILBOAT.

These very young children learn through spelling activities including many creative methods that make the second grade spelling program fun for them. Remember, every child learns at a different rate, so what works for some students, may not be the correct approach for your child. Which is why so many parents enjoy Time4Learning’s self-paced, modularized lesson plans. You can skip lessons that teach concepts your child has already mastered and repeat those he or she has not. The choice is yours.

Foundational Spelling Skills

Spelling skills should develop as part of an overall language arts phonemic awareness, phonics, reading comprehension, vocabulary and reading fluency, grammar, reading and writing program. Children should (with help from their parents) develop their foundational spelling skills through an interest in words, regular writing, constant reading, a study of spelling rules, and playing of spelling games.

With help from their parents, children can develop and reinforce foundational spelling skills through the following activities:

  1. Regular writing for a head start on spelling, punctuation, and other concepts
  2. Constant reading or use of reading workbooks
  3. Frequent study of spelling rules like the relationships between letters and sounds
  4. Spelling bees for a fun way for your child to practice their spelling
  5. Playing of spelling games, quizzes or word games to help develop their spelling skills
  6. Structured computer spelling programs
  7. Personalized tutoring and assistance to boost confidence
  8. Setting daily blocks of time for spelling and reading activities
  9. Instruction through guided spelling activities like word sorts or word boxes
  10. Creating a rich language environment at home based on the quantity and quality of words spoken

Time4Learning teaches a comprehensive second grade spelling curriculum using fun activities to build a solid spelling foundation. Help your child excel in spelling by trying out one of our Time4Learning’s second grade demos.

children Dictionary for parents

The quality and quantity of a child’s vocabulary largely determine the level of speech development in general. The formation and development of a dictionary is one of the main directions of the speech development of preschoolers. This topic has been the subject of numerous studies over many decades, and does not lose its relevance even now. Currently, there are trends of deterioration in the level of speech development of children, including the scarcity of their vocabulary. The reasons for this deplorable situation are heredity, and congenital pathologies of development, and the imperfection of the educational system, and the lack of competence of teachers and parents on the speech development of preschoolers. Usually, vocabulary work is most intensively carried out in the early and younger preschool years, but it should continue in the older age groups of the kindergarten.

There are certain norms for the development of speech, the indicator of which, in particular, is the number of words that the child knows. By the end of the first year of life, the first words appear (10-15 words). Babbling (lyalya, mom, dad) and onomatopoeic (meow, bibi). During the 2nd and 3rd years of life, the child has a significant accumulation of vocabulary. By 1.5 years – 100 words, by 2 years – 300-400 words, by 3 years – 1000-1500 words, and at 6-7 years old the active vocabulary is from 3500 to 5000 words.

Before entering school, a test is mandatory, which includes an assessment of speech development. And recently, the statistics have been disappointing, because most first-graders show signs of delayed speech development. This is a serious problem, which leads to the fact that such children are simply not ready for school. And first of all, this affects the acquisition of literacy – children simply do not have enough knowledge to pick up test words.

To prevent this, effective measures must be taken to enrich the child’s vocabulary so that he knows as many words as possible before entering school.

The child’s vocabulary is of two types – passive and active. Passive vocabulary is those words, the meaning of which the child understands, but does not use in his everyday speech. The active vocabulary includes those words that the child not only understands, but also uses them in speech and writing. As a rule, the passive dictionary is always larger than the active one.

Thus, the main task is to expand the passive vocabulary, as well as help in activating the active vocabulary. The most active period, when the child begins to master the largest number of words, is the age of 1 year. If at 12 months a child knows about 12 words, then by the age of 4 he already masters up to 2000 words.

It is important to understand that words are not acquired by themselves – this is the result of systematic work to expand the child’s vocabulary. And the work must be carried out every day – only in this way can good results be achieved. A huge role in this process is played by parents, on whose participation it directly depends on how quickly the child begins to speak and how rich his vocabulary will be.

There are a number of recommendations to build and increase the vocabulary of preschool children. Most of them do not require much effort on the part of parents.

All children are in different conditions of speech development, so the number of words they know is different in each case. But there is a certain list of terms and concepts that children should know by the age of 5-7:

  • Household dictionary (names of toys, dishes, hygiene and household items).
  • Spatial orientation (up, down, right, left).
  • Concepts of time (second, minute, hour, year), days of the week, months and seasons.
  • Dictionary of natural history (names of natural phenomena, animals, plants, birds that are in its immediate environment).
  • Numerals (ideally up to one hundred).
  • Social science terms (names of holidays, words denoting people’s work, human values, etc.).
  • Sports (football, hockey, etc.).
  • Words denoting emotions, feelings and experiences.
  • Parts of the human body.
  • Names of vehicles.
  • Colors and shades.

There are many ways to build a child’s passive and active vocabulary. Below we list the main recommendations, the observance of which will allow you to quickly achieve results.

Constant communication with the child is the base that allows the child to learn new words, ask an adult about the objects and phenomena that he observes.

During communication, try to use not only definitions familiar to the child, such as “small”, “big”, “good”, etc. Introduce synonyms into speech that make speech more colorful, use metaphors and epithets.

It is important to understand that the speech of preschoolers mainly consists of nouns and verbs, so you need to use adjectives as often as possible. Children hardly remember them, so you need to acquaint the child with the shape and color, smell, material, purpose of objects.

One should not just read books aloud, but do it slowly and with intonation. Periodically, you need to stop and ask the child if he understood the meaning of what he read, or if some words are incomprehensible to him. This is very important, because even when reading the simplest book, a child may have a lot of questions that you don’t even know about. Explain the meaning of unfamiliar words to him, and also ask questions about what he read.

You can observe almost everything with your child. Conduct an inspection of the premises in which you visit (during a trip to visit, visiting a clinic, etc.), observe with him natural phenomena, children in the yard, animals and birds.

But don’t just be an observer – comment on what you see. Actively share your observations, describe the feelings that you experience while doing this. The observations themselves should be interesting for the child, so if he does not want to look at the children playing on the playground, but wants to take part in this himself, then do not prevent him from doing this.

Looking at pictures and pictures in books contributes to the development of a passive vocabulary. You should describe what is shown in the illustration, as well as ask leading questions to the child.

Drawing up a story from pictures is very helpful. First, you can disassemble each image separately, and then, together with your child, compose a simple mini-story based on these pictures.

Here you can combine business with pleasure. Take your child to the kitchen, for example, where you can cook family dinner together. There is just a huge number of new items, the names and purposes of which may be unknown to him. Demonstrate and name the available kitchen items to him, tell him exactly what they are for.

You can discuss the classification of products with him. So he will understand that vegetable oil is needed for frying, and not to drink it, that it is more convenient to eat soup with a spoon, etc. Surely the child will want to help you, so you can entrust him with some simple and safe task (stir salad with a spoon, sort out buckwheat, etc.).

Play is the form of learning that is most effective in childhood. In this case, you do not need any special devices, so you can play almost anywhere.

Here are a few examples of such games:

  • We name the attribute of an object and correlate a certain object with it. For example, large (elephant, skyscraper, world), white (bread, sheet of paper, etc.).
  • Guess the profession. Examples: a person who drives a car … (driver), a person who sells products … (salesman).
  • “I know five.” At an early age, it is important to know not only a lot of words, but also to classify them into certain categories. You can invite the child to name 5 types of animals, types of transport, etc.
  • “Edible-inedible”. You name any word and throw the ball to the child. If the word is “edible” (ice cream, apple, watermelon), then the child catches the ball, and if it means an inedible object, then the ball is discarded.
  • “Say the opposite.” You say a word, and the child must name its antonym: hot – cold, slow – fast, clean – dirty.
  • “Who lives where?”. You name an animal or bird and throw the ball to the child. He catches the ball, names the place where the animal lives, and returns the ball. Examples: – a bear – in a den, a fox – in a hole, etc.

Games greatly influence the increase in words that the child will later use in his everyday speech. It is important to use as many complex and unfamiliar terms and concepts as possible, explaining in detail what they mean. Remember that all activities should be carried out in a fun and relaxed atmosphere, as well as praise the child, even if his progress at this stage is insignificant.

Enriching the vocabulary of younger students

The development of speech is an urgent task of teaching in elementary school. Speech performs the functions of communication, emotional self-expression of a person and influence on other people. Speech is a way of knowing reality. The quality of his education, knowledge, abilities and skills in all subjects, and not just in the Russian language and literature, depends on how the child has mastered coherent speech. Developed speech helps children better express their feelings and thoughts. A poor vocabulary does not allow children to fully communicate with both adults and children.

Psychologist N. I. Zhinsky wrote: “Speech is a channel for the development of intellect. The sooner the language is mastered, the easier and more complete the knowledge will be assimilated.

Consequently, speech development contributes to the development of thinking. Unfortunately, there is still no real continuity between kindergarten and school. Children entering school have a poor command of speech, their mental operations are not developed. For some reason, they are taught to read, and not to tell, explain, memorize, reproduce. In the first grade, a double burden is imposed on children.

When entering first grade, the child is under severe emotional stress. Even a well-developed kid experiences certain difficulties in a new school life for him. Many children lose their appetite, experience insomnia, while others, on the contrary, are drawn to sleep all the time. How difficult it is for a child who has poorly developed speech! It is difficult to understand for both children and adults. The teacher should make every effort to calm the child, win him over and help him master the correct, literate speech.

Often such children are sent to study in a correctional class of the 7th type.

Some students who come to the first grade usually have insufficiently developed coherent speech, a very poor vocabulary, logical thinking is not developed, and a weak memory. In order to teach children to correctly, accurately, beautifully express their thoughts in oral and written speech, it is necessary to systematically work to enrich the vocabulary. Vocabulary work is carried out throughout all four years of elementary school: during literacy, work on a word, on a phrase, sentence, text. First of all, you need to find out the volume of the vocabulary of children; what words and expressions they do not understand or are completely unfamiliar. Setting himself the task of helping children master the correct coherent speech, the teacher must analyze each story, poem: whether the speech is meaningful, whether the choice of words and other means of language is rich and varied.

The most important requirements for speech exercises:

-Systematicity,

-Consistency

-Perspectivity,

-Elements of novelty,

-Variety of species,

-accessibility.

In order for a new word to enter the child’s dictionary, it is necessary that the acquaintance with the lexical meaning of the word occurs on the basis of the operations of analysis, synthesis, and generalization.

To make it interesting for children and to better remember unfamiliar words and expressions, I include in each lesson one of the headings “Phonematic exercise”, “Visiting the word”, “On the wings of folk expressions”. The work is based on the use of poems, riddles, proverbs and sayings, phraseological expressions.

Each speech development lesson begins with phonemic exercises. It is necessary for the development of hearing and pronunciation of students. For example, to reinforce the pronunciation of the sound “p”, you can do the exercise “Woodpecker”, when the tip of the tongue knocks from the inside into the roots of the upper teeth, and the child pronounces d-d-d-d. Then: stop the horse: tpr-r-ru! Next task: start the tractor: tr-r-r-r!

The next stage of the lesson will be “Visiting the word”

This is how children work with the word “aster”.

1. Interview with students:

— What flowers do you know?

— Showing an aster and asking for the name of this flower.

— What does an aster look like (children say a ball, a plate, a hair clip).

—Does an aster look like a star?

2. Teacher’s message:

Astra in Greek “aster” means “star”. Why do you think?

What color of asters did you see?

3. Listen to the poem by Vs. Rozhdestvensky.

Astra.

Autumn over the shady park…

Gold maple trees on the waters of the pond.

The leaves are spinning… The birds have fallen silent.

Astra with its straight petals

From ancient times it was called a star.

That’s how you would call it yourself.

In it the petals scattered like rays

We suck golden from the core.

— How does the author show us that the aster is like a star?

4. Then the children, under the guidance of the teacher, make sentences about the aster.

The work on riddles, in which there is a description of objects, comparisons, synonyms and antonyms, personification, metaphor, enriches the vocabulary of students.

Sam scarlet, sugar,

Green caftan,

Velvet.

Children guess that it is a watermelon and prove why they think so.

Naturally, reading fairy tales helps to enrich children’s speech. stories, poems.

Here is a quatrain from a poem by Sergei Yesenin:

Golden stars dozed off.

The mirror of the backwater trembled,

The light dawns on the river backwaters

And fogs the grid of the sky.

What kind of work to enrich the dictionary can be done on these lines! They contain words whose meanings are unfamiliar to children: backwater, backwaters, dawns.

There is both personification and metaphor. The teacher should help the children understand the feelings of the poet, express their attitude to the pictures of nature created by Yesenin.

And such work should be carried out for each work.

Children need to be able to use both synonyms and antonyms. And this work must also be systematic. Synonyms and antonyms are used not only in the lessons of the Russian language and literature, but also in lessons in other subjects.

And what scope for the development of speech and thinking is given by work on phraseological units!

For example, beat the buckets.

1. Listen to the poem that I composed myself and guess what the expression beat the thumbs means.

If you wander all day.

Idle time,

Not to work, not to read.

Only lie on the sofa.

The people will say about him:

—The whole day he beats his thumbs!

2. Why is it said about the character of the poem that he beats his thumbs? (Because he doesn’t do anything)

– So, what is to beat the buckets? (sit back).

3. The expression to beat the buckets originally meant to split the block into the buckets (chocks for making wooden spoons), that is, to perform simple, uncomplicated work.

4. Next, the students talk about how they themselves sometimes beat the thumbs.

At any lesson, you can pick up games aimed at enriching and activating the vocabulary of children. I invented some games myself, others I took from special literature. For example, V. Volina “Learning while playing.

1. “What will I take with me.”

The teacher invites the children to name the items that they will take with them, if they go somewhere. Options: hiking, fishing, visiting, school, etc.

For example, when I go fishing, I will take a fishing rod, a can of worms, a bucket, a net, a knife, a tent, a high chair, a blanket, and more.

2. “Professions”.

Tractor drives … (tractor driver).

Electric train … (driver).

Painted the walls … (painter).

Planked board.. (carpenter).

The house was lighted… (fitter).

Works in the mine … (miner).

In the hot forge.. (blacksmith).

Who knows everything … (well done).

3. “Words”.

Replace one letter in words.

Stick-jackdaw – beam, stove – river – cut, shade – stump day – laziness, cat – kol – tol – ton – don – dol – gave.

11. Anagram.

From these words, by rearranging the letters, make new words.

Ugar-stew. Strike-ore. tub-carcass. uhlan moon.

Such exercises not only enrich the vocabulary, but also contribute to the use of new words in everyday speech, the development of thinking.

Each teacher, based on their own experience, can come up with many games and exercises to enrich students’ vocabulary. And, of course, he must use the methodological accumulations of other teachers in his work.

It is important not to lose in your work the understanding that words do not exist on their own, but in phrases, sentences, texts. Therefore, simultaneously with the work on the dictionary, work is underway on the compilation of phrases and sentences with a new word.

Vocabulary study of junior schoolchildren with intellectual disabilities

Bibliographic description:


Musaeva, N. S. Vocabulary study in younger schoolchildren with intellectual impairment / N. S. Musaeva. – Text: direct // Young scientist. – 2015. – No. 15 (95). — S. 596-598. — URL: https://moluch.ru/archive/95/21374/ (date of access: 09/12/2022).

In modern scientific literature, the word is considered as a sign denoting the result of cognition, thinking. The word encodes cognitive experience. Language as a means of communication is primarily the language of words. Words are concrete objects, abstract concepts, feelings and relationships are expressed.

Words in a language do not exist in isolation from each other. They are part of a single lexical system. Each lexical unit of this system is connected by various relations with other units both in meaning and in form (synonymous, antonymic connections, thematic and lexico-semantic groups). The place of a word is also determined by its ambiguity, compatibility with other words. When learning vocabulary, these connections begin to interact. Semantic (semantic) fields, or so-called verbal networks, are formed around each word. The mastery of a word is at the same time the process of its “accumulation” with lexical connections with other words. As a result, children master both the words themselves and the systemic connections between them.

A child can only master the meaning of a word when it is used in phrases, sentences, or a coherent statement. Therefore, the formation of a dictionary should take place in close relationship with the development of coherent speech of children. Conversely, the richness of the vocabulary is a sign of well-developed speech and an indicator of a high level of mental development (1).

The timely development of the vocabulary is one of the important factors in preparing for schooling. Children who do not have sufficient vocabulary experience great learning difficulties, not finding the right words to express their thoughts. Teachers note that students with a rich vocabulary solve arithmetic problems better, master reading skills, grammar more easily, and are more active in mental work in the classroom.

The peculiarities of the vocabulary of mentally retarded children attracted the attention of many authors, who noted that cognitive impairments affect the formation of a passive and active vocabulary (2,3).

However, the study of the vocabulary of students with intellectual disabilities in the republic was not studied, in connection with this, we conducted a preliminary study of the state of the vocabulary in the native (Uzbek) language of mentally retarded primary school students in auxiliary schools No. 25, 37, 52, 57 , 66 of the city of Tashkent.

The purpose of the study was to identify the level of formation of the vocabulary of mentally retarded junior schoolchildren .

As a basis for diagnosing the speech development of children, we laid the principles of systematicity and consistency, accessibility and visibility, using such pedagogical qualities as benevolence, patience and endurance, pedagogical tact and the ability to dispose the child to communication. The examinations were carried out with each child individually, after establishing a positive emotional contact with them. In the study, we identified the active vocabulary of students:

– Nouns that answer the question who? what?, fruits, vegetables, toys, clothes, shoes, pets, wild animals, poultry, seasons, holidays, family, modes of transport, furniture, professions, food, utensils…

–                               what question? Colors: red, yellow, white, blue, green, light blue, brown, black; object shapes: round, triangular, square, circle; antonyms: big-small, high-low, long-short, wide-narrow; old, new, beautiful. ..

– Verbs answering the question what does he do? Walks, jumps, sews, sleeps, runs, cooks, swims, washes, eats, washes, irons, cleans, dances, plays… animals, poultry, seasons, holidays, family, modes of transport, furniture, professions, food, dishes. The criteria for assessing the degree of assimilation of the vocabulary by mentally retarded students were defined as “very low”, “low”, “medium”.

The study involved 190 children, 58 students from the 1st grade, 42 students from the 2nd grade, 44 students from the 3rd grade, 46 students from the 4th grade.

Examination of children with intellectual disabilities made it possible to establish a picture of the formation of vocabulary, to identify the level of passive and active vocabulary, and to specify the volume of vocabulary of younger students. All diagnostic tasks in their content corresponded to the age indicators of younger students, had clear verbal instructions and the necessary demonstration material. The results of the study were formalized in protocols for examining the vocabulary for each child. The results of the examination of the state of the vocabulary of mentally retarded primary school students are shown in Table No. 1.

Pupils who showed very low scores could not answer even very elementary tasks. For example, where children were required to show objects named by the experimenter, children found it difficult to show, many showed several pictures for the name of one object, “generalizing words” the children had difficulty with concepts: school supplies, transport, flowers, trees, shoes, clothes. It was difficult for children to generalize these words, for example, such items as boots, shoes , were assigned to the concepts of clothes, and bus, tram, trolleybus , the children called cars. It was also difficult for children to focus their attention on several pictures at the same time, and therefore they quickly forgot the purpose of the task. For example, students of the 25th specialized school of the 1st grade Abduvosikov, Abdukayumov, Olmasov could not distinguish fruits from vegetables when they were asked to distribute fruits in one direction and vegetables in the other direction, the students could not cope with the task, they also could not list family members , distinguish the seasons, distinguish colors, geometric shapes, etc. The students from the 4th grade of the specialized school No. 66 Abdumalikov, Abdurahimov, Makhamadzhonov also gave very low results, although they study in the 4th grade, but they could not cope with the tasks, in each school has students who gave very low results, out of 190 tested 112 students, that is, 59% of primary school students gave very low results. Among the children we studied, there are children with Down syndrome. Out of 112 students, 38 (34%) 1st graders, 27 (24%) 2nd graders, 22 (20%) 3rd graders, and 25 (22%) 4th graders scored very low.

It should be noted that, having a minimum passive vocabulary, children use it very reluctantly, when answering questions, they think for a long time, become animated at the game situation, without delving into the essence of the question, and are often distracted, forgetting the instructions.

Students who have low scores 46 students (24%) out of 190 students. Of these, 15 (33%) students are 1st grade students, 9 (20%) 2nd grade students, 17 (36%) 3rd grade students, 5 (11%) 4th grade students. These students with a low level of vocabulary formation coped with the tasks by trial and error. Children completed these tasks either after stimulating questions, or corrected themselves, but with the help of the experimenter. The instructions were clear to the children, but controlling actions were required. To the questions “What is this?”, “Who is this?” these students were able to answer, but tasks requiring distinguishing color, shape, size were difficult for these students. To the questions “What does he do?” students answered only after stimulating questions. The questions were answered with the help of the experimenter. For example, a student of the 37th specialized school from the 2nd grade of Abdujabborov was able to cope with the task of naming nouns, distinguishing them from each other, but he could not complete the task of distinguishing colors, shapes, sizes on his own, when given generalizing words, this student did everything only with with the help of an experimenter. A 2nd grade student Otabek from the 57th specialized school was able to complete the entire task with nouns, but on the task of understanding the actions shown in the pictures (show in which picture: the girl is sleeping, the mother is ironing, the grandmother is knitting, the girl is washing, the mother is cooking, the girl is sweeping , the girl combs, the boy washes) could not answer correctly. Tasks adjectives denoting color, shape, size were also difficult, he constantly needed the help of an experimenter.

Children with an average level of were able to distinguish words related to nouns, adjectives, verbs, while clarifying generalizing words, they were able to say everyday words, it was slightly difficult to distinguish poultry, seasons. For example, a student of the 52nd grade school, Abduvaliev, was able to complete the task on nouns, adjectives, had some difficulty with tasks with verbs, completed all the tasks with help, with generalizing words, only sometimes resorted to help.

Of the 190 students surveyed, 32 or 17% showed an average level of learning. 5 (16%) students of them are students of grade 1, 6 (18%) children of grade 2, 5 (16%) children of grade 3, 16 (50%) students are students of grade 4.

Based on the results of the experiments, the following conclusions were made that the vocabulary of mentally retarded primary school students is not sufficient in quantitative and qualitative terms. There is an inaccurate use of words, paraphasia. The prevailing are the replacements of words by semantic similarity. Characteristic are the replacements of the word . There are mixtures of words of the same kind, type. The passive vocabulary of mentally retarded children is larger than the active one, but it is hardly updated. The data of V. G. Petrova is confirmed that mentally retarded schoolchildren do not know the names of many objects that surround them.

When talking with teachers, they reported a number of shortcomings in the work, that there are not enough visual supplies to increase the vocabulary of students, methodological aids have not been developed to a sufficient extent, parents of students do not work together with teachers, there is a lack of visual objects for reciting poems , plays, fairy tales, few hours are devoted to the study of the seasons. Indeed, in mentally retarded students, memory is usually enriched with the help of visualization.

Stages of speech development in a child

The first six months

By the end of 1 month of life, a healthy infant already responds to treatment: stops crying, focuses on an adult. At 3 months , when communicating with an adult, the baby becomes animated, “gurgles”. Vowel sounds predominate, as well as consonants g, k, n.

At 5 months the baby reacts to the direction of the sound, “sings”, changing the intonation of the voice. By 6 months the first syllable “ba” or “ma” appears. There is an initial understanding of the addressed speech: the child listens to the voice of an adult, recognizes familiar voices.

Up to the year

In 8 months babble occurs, i.e. repetition of the same syllables: “ba-ba”, “yes-yes”, “pa-pa”, etc. In speech, sounds are used: p, b, m, g, k, e, a. By 10 months the baby uses at least 1-2 “babble words” in communication (such as “lyalya”, “woman”).

At 1 year the child already uses 3-4 “babble words”, understands individual words, correlates them with specific objects. Understands simple instructions accompanied by gestures (“kiss mom”, “where is dad?”, “give me a pen”, “no”). The first meaningful words in a baby appear by the end of the first year of life. The period from one to three years is characterized by a rapid increase in vocabulary in children. This is due to the fact that the activity of the child becomes more complex and diverse. He gets acquainted with the various properties of objects, establishes the simplest connections between them, generalizes according to similar features. However, the ability to understand the generalized meaning of words is not yet sufficiently developed.

After a year

1 year 3 months . Vocabulary increases to 6 words, the child understands a simple instruction without a gesture, shows familiar words in the picture.

1 year 6 months . Shows one of the parts of the body, vocabulary 7-20 words.

1 year 9 months . Shows three parts of the body, uses a two-word phrase (“Mom, di!”, “Give me lala”). Vocabulary 20 words.

Second year of development

2 years . The child shows five parts of the body, has a vocabulary of at least 50 words; understands and correctly follows the two-step instruction (“go to the kitchen and fetch a cup”), correctly uses the pronouns I, you, me. By the age of two, the child already learns the sounds: p, b, m, f, c, t, d, n, k, g, x. Whistling sounds (s, s, c), hissing (w, w, h, u) and sonorous (p, l) he usually skips or replaces.

2 years 6 months . The child understands the designation of actions in different situations (“show who is sitting, who is sleeping”), the meaning of prepositions in a familiar specific situation (“what are you sitting on?”). Pronounces sounds correctly: s, z, l, repeats two numbers in the correct sequence, has the concept of “one”.

After two – not too late

3 years . Vocabulary 250-700 words, the child uses sentences of five to eight words, has mastered the plural of words; gives his name, gender and age; understands the meaning of simple prepositions – performs tasks like “put the cube under the cup”, uses simple prepositions and conjunctions in the sentence because, if, when. The kid understands the read short stories and fairy tales.

4 years . Complex sentences are already found in speech, prepositions are used for, before, instead of, after, unions what, where, how much. Vocabulary 1500-2000 words. The child correctly pronounces hissing sounds w, w, h, u, as well as the sound c. The softened pronunciation of consonants disappears.

5 years . Vocabulary increases to 2500-3000. In words, there are no more gaps, permutations of sounds and syllables. All parts of speech are used in the sentence. The child masters all the sounds of the native language and uses them correctly in speech; actively uses generalizing words (“clothes”, “animals”).

7 years . The dictionary is increased to 3500 words, it actively accumulates figurative words and expressions, stable phrases (neither light nor dawn, hastily, etc.) Grammar rules are assimilated. The child actively tries to explain the meaning of words, reflects on the gender of nouns. Thus, language and speech attention, memory, logical thinking and other psychological prerequisites for the further development of the child and his successful schooling develop.

It’s no secret that children often read badly just because they don’t understand

How to choose the time for classes

There is this recommendation:

If you want to be successful and not discourage your child from learning,
make each session a game when he is active, alert and in good
mood.

This is a highly controversial recommendation. The kid quickly understands that as soon as it opens
primer, then it will be boring, and he won’t be able to see the TV set. The mood spoils, occupation
comes from under the stick.

How to choose the right words for reading

Not all children understand how to put letters into words correctly. for them the letters are
just icons that don’t represent anything. Why do adults want certain things from them?
actions, children do not understand. And, at some point, the children understand what it is
letters and how words can be formed from them. Just for such children, I collected simulators
and games.

In this simulator, you will need to read simple words and choose the right
picture that represents the word. First come simple words, consisting of
three letters, then more difficult and long. The task I set was to collect the words,
with all letters of the Russian alphabet.

Why does a baby forget letters, although he learned them yesterday

Usually, a child easily remembers some letters, and not so others. The role of an adult
in celebrating what his ward does not succeed in and giving additional
tasks.

Another important thing is regularity. Since for the child all learning is
frankly, cramming and repetition, then the process of classes should be such that
information was repeated at regular intervals.

Ebbinghaus (read more about this on Wikipedia) studied how quickly people forget
meaningless information for this person and came to the conclusion that in the first twenty
minutes, 40% of the information is forgotten. And if it is impossible to say exactly what it means
this or that letter, then this is tantamount to the fact that the letter is completely unfamiliar. Must be
unequivocal 100% recognition.

Repeat, repeat, repeat

For example, you are training warehouses (syllable, combination of letters)
TO , and the child more or less learned to recognize and read the combination.
Add the syllable BUT to the tasks, and ask to read words helping to read unfamiliar
more child letters. However, the child can click on the syllables himself and listen to how the computer
is reading.

Therefore, the word may be unfamiliar. For example, the word SUKNO has been added to the dictionary

There is this recommendation:

If you want to be successful and not discourage your child from learning,

Here are the simple rules for organizing classes:

  • Classes must be periodic. Short enough for your son
    or daughter engaged enthusiastically.
  • There should be an encouragement at the end.
  • The kid must clearly understand what he needs to do this time.

I RECOMMEND!

I recommend reading Karen Pryor’s book Don’t Grow at the Dog, in order to
to understand how to train… oh, train a child.

In short, put only one task. ONLY ONE! As soon as it turns out
what you wanted – leave the lesson. For example, you want the child to clearly
uttered the tongue twister “in the yard – grass, on the grass – firewood.” Explain to the child
that you need to clearly and clearly say the words slowly and articulately. If he speaks
on the first try. All! lessons are over.

In our case, clearly explain how many exercises he has to do
this time! And don’t give any more quests.

Teaching reading to children 3,4,5,6 years old in a playful way. Acquaintance with letters, alphabet, correct pronunciation, simple texts for reading

Spoken English – what should be the vocabulary.

One-two-three-four-five… How many words should I know? Sam Jandreau, founder of the Lingholic project, will answer this question. He will talk about what the 95/5 rule is and how it works for those who learn a foreign language. No magic, just math!

Word, show your passport!

English students often ask, “How many words do I need to learn to be able to hold a conversation on any topic?” Good question, but before answering it, let me ask you another one: How many words do you think the English language has? A question to which there is no intelligible answer. Why? It is impossible to count the number of words in a language for one simple reason – it is difficult to decide what counts as a word.

It is claimed, for example, that for the word “set” the Oxford Dictionary gives 464 definitions. Should we consider a polysemantic word as one word or each interpretation as a separate word? And what about phrasal verbs: “set up”, “set about”, “set apart”, etc.? And what about the so-called open compounds – words like “hot dog”, “ice cream”, “real estate”? Add to this the singular and plural forms, verb conjugations, different endings, prefixes and suffixes, and you will understand why it is so problematic to answer how many words there are in the English language.

The question should really be: “Do you know how many words are in the largest dictionary of the English language?” If you roughly imagine the number of words in a language, it can be compared with the number of words used 90-95% of the time in everyday speech and in the news.

Less words – more action

In 1960, the famous American children’s writer Theodor Seuss Geisel (better known under the pseudonym Dr. Seuss, author of The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, The Cat in the Hat, The Lorax, etc. ) published the book Green Eggs and Ham. The book was written in just 50 words and was the result of a dispute between Seuss and his publisher, Bennett Cerf. The publisher believed that Seuss would not be able to create a finished work in such harsh conditions (before that, Seuss had already written “The Cat in the Hat”, which featured 225 words).

If it’s possible to write a book in just 50 words, does that mean we don’t need 40,000 words to communicate with each other? Note, however, that according to Susie Dent, a lexicographer, the average active vocabulary of an adult English speaker is about 20,000 words, and the passive one is about 40,000 words.

What is the difference between active and passive vocabulary? In simple terms, active vocabulary includes words that you can remember on your own and apply. As for the passive vocabulary, these are those words that you recognize, the meaning of which you know, but which you are not able to use yourself.

How many words do you know, sir?

And here we come to the most interesting part. On the one hand, an adult native English speaker has an active vocabulary of about 20,000 words. On the other hand, The Reading Teacher’s Book of Lists states that the first 25 words are used in 33% of everyday written texts, the first 100 words in 50%, and the first thousand words occur in 89% of such texts!

Thus, we can safely say that only 3000 words cover about 95% of general texts (news articles, blog entries, etc.). Liu Na and Nation proved that 3000 is the approximate number of words we need to know in order to understand the rest from context when reading unsimplified texts.

Do the math!

The Oxford English Dictionary contains 171,476 common words. 95% of general texts cover a vocabulary of only 3,000 words. That’s 1.75% of all words!

That’s right: knowing 1.75% of the English vocabulary, you can understand 95% of what you read. This is only 7.5% of the average passive vocabulary of a native speaker (40,000 words). Isn’t it great?

On the Pareto law and the importance of linguistic guesswork

You may have heard of Pareto’s Law, also known as the 80/20 principle. The Italian engineer and philosopher Vilfredo Pareto studied numerous phenomena and subjects, from land ownership to pea pods, and as a result he deduced a rule that was called Pareto’s law: 20% of causes produce 80% of effects. Or, if you apply the law to study or work: 20% of efforts give 80% of the result.

English learners need to understand 90-95% of the most commonly used words in everyday life. Where exactly do these numbers come from? Approximately as many words you need to know in order to understand well what is written and said. In addition, having learned just that many words, you can guess the meaning of the remaining 5-10% simply from the context! Not exactly 80/20, but the principle is the same: only a small part of your efforts will bring significant results.

This is an extremely important moment! If you have already reached a high level of understanding of the language, this means that it is time to close the dictionary and allow yourself to learn “inductively”, from context and by guesswork. You already do this every day – after all, no one knows all the words in their native language. So why not do the same with English?

Weigh your vocabulary!

So, if you achieve an understanding of 95% of the most commonly used words in a language, you can understand the rest of the unfamiliar words from the context.

Of course, knowing the words does not mean perfectly understanding what you are listening to or reading, because language is also grammar, phraseological units and figures of speech that can (and will) get in your way. A sentence can consist entirely of words that are perfectly familiar to you and at the same time be completely incomprehensible – precisely because of such linguistic phenomena.

Despite this, in most cases, knowing 90-95% of the words in a sentence and the context allows you to understand and communicate in a language without much difficulty – especially if it belongs to the same language family as your native language.

Yes, the English language has a huge number of words, so for many it seems like an impenetrable fortress that will take decades to take. In reality, if from the very beginning you learn words in context, step by step building up your vocabulary “arsenal” to 2500-3000 units, it is really possible in a short time to reach a level at which you can read general texts and understand 90-95% of what is said .

This is the ideal number, exactly how many words you need to learn in order for the experience of reading foreign texts to be successful. This is also the approximate number of words that you need to know in order to catch the meaning of the remaining words from the context.

On the most popular site http:// testyourvocab.com/ you can roughly estimate the size of your vocabulary.

Interesting:

  • At the age of 4, an ordinary native speaker of English has a baggage of 5,000 words, and at the age of 8 years – of 10,000 words
  • The rate of replenishment of the vocabulary of an adult native speaker is 1 word per day (however, this process usually stops in middle age)
  • The average size of the vocabulary of those test participants for whom English is not their native language was 4,500 words

Method

  1. Preheat the grill and cook the burgers to pack instructions. Meanwhile, cut 1 side of each Cheddar slice in a zigzag pattern using the tip of a knife, so you end up with 4 sets of ‘teeth’. Grill the burger buns, cut-side up, for 1 min until golden.
  2. For each burger, spread the mayonnaise on both halves of the bun. On the bottom half, place a piece of lettuce, then the burger patty. Lay a gherkin slice over the top of the patty so it hangs over the edge to resemble a ‘tongue’. Add a jagged slice of cheese, then carefully squeeze some ketchup over the top of the teeth. Position the top half of the bun at a slight angle so you can see the mouth inside.
  3. Skewer the olives on 8 cocktail sticks and push 2 through the top bun to make the eyes. Remove the cocktail sticks before eating.

Halloween Monster Burgers Recipe – Happy Foods Tube

These monster burgers are fun Halloween appetizers perfect for your Halloween party. They are easy to make and full of flavor. Includes process shots and useful tips!

If you are looking for new Halloween food ideas, these monster burgers are it. They would definitely make a great addition to your party menu.

And, if you want more Halloween recipes, you can find some ideas at the bottom of this post.

Beef patties

For these monster burgers, I made homemade beef patties, but you can use any store-bought ones you like. They can be made of chicken, pork or beef or a combination of these. You can grill them, bake them in the oven or cook on a skillet!

My burger recipe is simple. I use ground beef which I mix with salt, pepper, thyme, egg and a little amount of breadcrumbs.

It’s important to mix the meat mixture well to achieve an even distribution of the seasoning. For that reason, I like to use gloves or a fork to do it.

You will get 4 patties out of this recipe, so if you want to make a few, you will need to double/triple the recipe.

Assembling Halloween monster burgers

First, prepare everything – make the mayo sauce, wash and pat dry lettuce (if not ready-washed), cook the patties, … Then, just put everything together.

Please have a look at the step by step process photos if not sure.

Tips for making burger monsters for Halloween

  • Vegetarians can use veggie burger patties instead of meat.
  • You can go wild and use other ingredients to make the eyes. They don’t have to be on toothpicks. You can place them on top of each burger (sliced cherry tomatoes, green or black olives, baby cucumbers, etc…).
  • Use any sliced cheese you have on hand/you like.
  • I love making a quick mayonnaise sauce by combining it with ketchup. You can also add crushed garlic or hot sauce for an extra kick!
  • Baby romaine lettuce can be substituted with any other green leaf lettuce you like.
  • Burger buns can be also toasted or grilled!

Halloween party food ideas

Easy Halloween Snacks – easy peasy appetizers ready in minutes. You will need a small pumpkin cookie cutter though to make them.

Spooky Halloween Desserts – a fun and easy way to make some simple Halloween desserts.

For homemade burger patties: see note 1
  • 1 pound ground beef (450 grams)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
For frying:
  • 4 tablespoons cooking oil
For mayo sauce:
  • 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 4 teaspoons ketchup
For burger monsters:
  • 4 hamburger buns , see note 2
  • baby romaine lettuce (2 leaves per bun)
  • 4 slices of cheese , see note 3
  • 4 tablespoons ketchup (or to liking)
  • dill pickles , sliced lengthways (4 slices)
  • 8 large green olives (without stones)
  • Making burger patties: In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, pepper, thyme, egg and breadcrumbs. Using your hands or fork, mix thoroughly. You want to distribute the seasoning as evenly as possible.

  • Divide into 4 equally-looking pieces. Roll them into balls and place onto a tray lined with baking parchment. Press down until you get large and thin patties. Press each in the middle to make a slight dent.

  • Heat oil in a large skillet, place patties in and cook to your preferred doneness, about 3-4 minutes per side (see note 4). You can also grill them or oven-bake.

  • Mayo sauce: In a small bowl, mix together mayo and ketchup.

  • Assembling monster burgers: Take a bun base, spread with about a tablespoons of mayo sauce, lettuce, cooked burger.

  • Top with a slice of dill pickle and a slice of cheese that you have cut some triangles out so it looks like teeth. Spread about a tablespoon of ketchup over (to resemble “blood”) and cover with bun.

  • Stick 2 large green olives onto 2 toothpicks and stick these into the bun.

  • Enjoy!

  1. Each patty weighs ¼ pound. You can use store-bought burger patties instead of making them yourself if you prefer.
  2. I use large buns with sesame seeds. You can use buns of any size, with or without sesame seeds. Feel free to toast or grill them, if you like!
  3. Any sliced cheese will work (gouda, mozzarella, cheddar).
  4. The internal temperature should reach 160 Fahrenheit (71 Celsius). Cook for longer if needed!
  5. This recipe can be easily doubled/tripled,…
  6. Make sure to remove the toothpicks especially when serving these to kids!
  7. More tips and Halloween appetizer recipes are in the post above this recipe card.

Ingredients

burger

  1. Beef Mince/Ground Beef: Use lean grass fed beef.
  2. Brioche Buns: Brioche buns are a sweeter, more buttery bun. If you can’t find brioche buns use your favourite hamburger buns.
  3. Spooky Special Sauce: Recipe in the recipe card below. If you don’t want to make sauce you can use your favourites, barbecue, ketchup/tomato, hot sauce or mayonnaise.
  4. Bacon: I use maple glazed bacon rashers (bought from the supermarket), but feel free to use your favourite bacon.
  5. Red Onion: Also known as Spanish onion. Thin slices of raw onion are used for this recipe. If you would prefer cooked onion, then pop them in your pan after cooking the bacon for a quick sizzle.
  6. Pickle Slices: They can also be referred as pickle sandwich stackers. If you can’t find them cut a large pickle into slices lengthways, or use long slices of roma/egg tomato.
  7. Olive oil: For cooking the beef patties. If you don’t have olive oil, use your preferred oil.
  8. Salt: To season the beef patties, it is the only seasoning I use. It can be omitted if preferred, but it does act as a flavour enhancer.
  9. Cheddar Cheese Slices: You can use any kind of cheese that is floppy and bends. Otherwise your monsters’ teeth will stick out straight ahead and not flop down to look like teeth.

11 Totally Spooky Halloween Food Ideas To Try – Hand Luggage Only

915

SHARES

We’ve all been there, whether it’s for the kids, for uni friends or for a haunted-house party – finding the right Halloween food ideas and dishes can be scary! 👻

Halloween is one of my favourite times of the year. Yaya, me and our friends always make a big deal of it. Usually, the day consists of a copious amount of fake blood, lots of makeup and a spooky party spirit.

Before we hit London town, we always get together to throw a Halloween party, which usually involves lots of Bloody Marys and other Halloween food ideas to gorge on.

Now, for me, Halloween is all about the dressing up, so I insist that anything we make for the party is quick, easy and, of course, a little spooky. More than anything, I have no problems in taking a few shortcuts in preparation, especially if you want to focus on your outfits.

Take a look at some of the best Halloween food ideas I’ve made for our house party. 🎃

1.) Cannibal cookies

Now, I’m a total cheat with these Halloween food ideas and I usually end up buying my cookies already baked. That being said, if you want to bake them from scratch, that’s amazing.

Once your cookies are sourced, grab two and fill in-between with clotted/thick cream, drizzle with lashings of raspberry or strawberry sauce (the blood) and pop two berries on the top for eyes.

Simple, blood-thirsty, cannibal cookies.

 

2.) Goulish bananas

Possibly one of the easiest spooky treats and Halloween food ideas to make. Chop up a big bunch of bananas (the firmer the better) and pop them upright to stand proud.

Once ready, dot a few little eyes (and a mouth, if you like) with a little tube of chocolate icing.

Honestly, they’re one of the simplest Halloween food ideas and recipes to make. Easy peasy ghostly squeezy! 👻

3.) Cheesy Witches Brooms

Another easy treat to make. Grab yourself some sliced Edam cheese from the Cheese Monger or Supermarket (depending how fancy you want to be) and slice each piece three-quarters of the way up. Make around 5-6 cuts depending on the size of the slice and roll into a pipe shape and squeeze the top to hold the shape.

Once completed, grab a thin breadstick and carefully pierce the top of the bristles. This makes one of the best (and totally spell-binging) Halloween food ideas to gorge on. Hey presto, you’ve made some Witches brooms that are much cooler than a cheese and pineapple stick.

They’re spell-tacualr! 🤣

4.) Petrified Pizza

Another one of the quick Halloween food ideas is a petrified pizza.

Grab yourself some freshly prepared pizza’s to stick in the oven (whatever flavour takes your fancy). Once home, Grab a few balls of mozzarella and shape into some ghost-like silhouettes. Now, if you’re anything like me, it’ll take a little practice (especially after a few glasses of wine – lots of my first tires looked more like blobs than ghosts).

Anyway, once shaped correctly, pop in the oven and cook for between 12-18 minutes. It’s one of the easiest Halloween food ideas to conjure up if you’re on a tight schedule.

Oh, and don’t forget to add a few black olives (and some chopped up olives) to make some creepy-crawly spiders. For extra spice and bloody looking pizza, add a few drops of Tabasco sauce too.

5.) Monster Burgers

First off, buy some good quality burgers (beef, turkey, vegetarian – whatever floats your boat) and grab a few crusty burger rolls, olives, cheese slices gherkins (pickles, if you’re across the pond) and lashings of ketchup. All these together make for one of my favourite Halloween food ideas this year! 

Cook the burgers, as usual, just make sure to cut the rolls on one side and slip the burger in. Add a few scary cheesy teeth and a long slice of gherkin for its tongue.

To finish off, prod two cocktail sticks in the top of the roll and add the olives (for eyes). This is all complimented with a messy serving of ketchup (for the blood). 👹

6.) Scary Sushi

First off, grab yourself some white rice, wasabi, fresh salmon (or smoked) and a few pieces of seaweed paper.

After sourcing your ingredients, boil some rice and keep it quite sticky to form some balls. After cooling, wrap with some salmon (or smoked salmon if you prefer) and cut the seaweed paper to make cuts, gashes and eyes. The scariest sushi you’ll find and one to impress the guests!

If you want to add some oozing sores, add a little wasabi coming out of the drawn gashes you make. Extra spicy and a one of the scarier Halloween food ideas to try.

7.) Angry Apples

If you’re looking to hand out some healthier trick or treat goodies, make yourself some of these angry apples that are ready within minutes.

Cut your apples into quarters, leaving the skin on and cut a smaller groove into the middle of each quarter (as per the picture). Once crafted, add a slither of peanut butter inside the groove and add a slice of strawberry for a bloody tongue.

To finish, add some icing eyes that can be stuck to your apples with a little dollop of peanut butter. All finished off with sunflower seeds for the teeth.

This is one of the pretty healthy Halloween food ideas to share with kids.

8.) Mummified Sausage Rolls

Possibly one of my favourites to make, these will take a little more preparation.

Either make a pastry from scratch or buy some rolls of puff pastry in the frozen section of a supermarket. Once ready, cut the puff pastry roll into thin lines and wrap untidily around a sausage or sausage meat.

Pop the sausage rolls into the oven (until golden brown) and finish off with some Edam cheese and pepper seeds for eyes. Alternatively, use a little icing to create the eyes, they just don’t taste that great with a savoury dish.

Complete the dish with dollops of bloody ketchup for one of the cutest Halloween food ideas.

9.) Gravestone Brownies

Another easy cheat of a pudding to make, grab yourself some brownies (pre-made) or if you prefer, from scratch. Make sure each slice is cut into a rectangle shape that can be used as a bottom of a gravestone. After placing the desired amount onto a tray,

To create the headstone, you’ll either need to bake a few sugar biscuits from scratch or try and source some pre-made in the shape you need (which is much harder). You don’t need to just make sugar biscuits and you can also use wafer (which can be cut into the shape you want). Stick the biscuits or wafer into the top edge of the brownie to make a grave,

Finish off with some RIP letters painted with icing sugar on the gravestone and sprinkle some dried and grated citrus fruit for grass onto.

If you’re feeling extra creative, you can make a small cat or pumpkin out of icing to place next to the grave. All this makes for one of the best Halloween food ideas for any budding gravedigger! 🤣

10.) Spider Muffins

Another easy treat that can literally take seconds! Grab yourself some fresh muffins from your bakery of choice and head straight to your local sweet shop to pick up some liquorice laces.

Once home, stick the laces into the muffin to make the spider’s legs. For eyes, either use Nerds in the US or Millions in the UK. If you can’t get either, use a berry or coloured icing ball. This will then transform these into one of the creepiest Halloween food ideas to try.

11.) Virgin Bloody Mary

With not a drop of alcohol in sight (unless you want), you can produce a Virgin Bloody Mary. A tomato-based cocktail that includes lashings of Worcester Sauce, Tabasco and a few pinches of salt and pepper.

Finish with a fresh slice of lemon and Vodka if you want to make an adults version.  Serve with a big stick of celery. Now, it might not look like one of the scariest Halloween food ideas but it’s totally yummy!

The Treat That Turned Into an Accidental Trick – Now I Know

October is a very spooky month. Well, not really — it’s just a regular month and, really, is not any more spooky than March or August. But October ends with Halloween, so it is as good of a time as any for us to find ways to make things a little scarier than they would otherwise be. Usually, that comes in the form of decorations — we carve pumpkins, wear costumes, and maybe even adorn our houses with fake cobwebs or things that resemble what ghosts would look like if ghosts were real. It’s all in good fun.

But what happens when fake, good-natured scariness celebrations turn into real scares? That’s bad. Just as Burger King.

That, pictured above is Burger King’s signature hamburger, the Whopper. It’s a four-ounce (precooked weight) beef burger adorned with mayo, tomatoes, pickles, onions, and ketchup, with cheese as a common additional ingredient, all positioned on a sesame seed bun. It’s not healthy for you, obviously, especially if you ignore the nutritional information. It’s just a regular fast-food burger with an iconic name. Nothing about it is particularly scary.

But the Halloween season requires everything to become a little more spooky, right? So in October 2015, Burger King decided it was time to frighten up the Whooper. The result looked like this.

That was the Halloween Whopper. It is also a four-ounce (precooked weight) beef burger adorned with mayo, tomatoes, pickles, onions, and ketchup, with cheese as a common additional ingredient, all positioned on a sesame seed bun. But — get this! — they died the bun black. Scary, right?

Okay, it’s not that scary. It’s just another fun and fright-free way to celebrate the Halloween season. No one who would have eaten a regular Whopper is going to say “nah, this new Halloween Whopper scares me too much. ”  Or, at least, it didn’t on the way in. But what about on the way out? That proved different. As CBC News reported, ” special treat comes with a surprising trick — ghoulishly green poop.” 

Shortly after eating these scary sliders, dozens of people went on Twitter to share their gastrointestinal adventures. Some were not all that positive about the experience; for example, one guy attested that “yesterday I had the Halloween Whopper… Today my poop is green,” and then noted that “yesterday was the last time I’ll have the Halloween Whopper.” Others were excited about the adventure; one person triumphantly stated “I ate a Halloween whopper just to see if my poop turned green and it DID.” Some described their poops; for example, there’s one guy who said his “stool was as green as the Irish countryside after a quenching rain.” Some even shared pictures of their doodies: the next link is going to be one that will show you what was in some random person’s toilet, so please take caution before clicking, okay? Great: here’s the link to someone’s green number two. And while many saw Burger King’s Halloween Whopper as a marketing stunt gone awry, at least one person saw it as a great idea, just poorly timed; he asked “[do] you think Burger King will bring back the #greenpoop for St. Patrick’s Day?”

They probably could have safely. CBS News spoke with Dr. Ian Lustbader, a professor of medicine and a gastroenterologist at New York University, and the best guess is that Burger King just used a lot of food dye. Per that CBS News report, “food coloring is not always completely absorbed by the intestines during digestion, and the dye that isn’t absorbed can seep into food material that’s sitting in the gut, turning it different colors. USA Today echoed that same sentiment, noting that “other dyes, like those in cake frosting, can deliver the same outcome. If you eat mass quantities of bright foods (beets, tomatoes or leafy greens) you might also notice a greater spectrum in your rectal rainbow.” Eat a lot of it — either too often or all at once — and sure, bad things can happen. But you’d have to eat a lot of Halloween Whoppers for the dye to do you in (and the saturated fat and calories would probably get you first).

But odd-colored stool can be a sign of something very serious, so as marketing stunts go, this wasn’t a great one. (Turning your customers’ toilet-going moments into a brief panic at best and a trip to the doctor at worst isn’t a great idea.) That Halloween Whopper didn’t make a return trip to Burger King’s menu in October — or March — of 2016.



 
Bonus fact
: If you’re eating sushi in the United States, chances are you are eating food dye when you eat wasabi. Actually, no, you’re not eating wasabi at all. Wasabi is a type of plant that requires very specific growing conditions and, therefore, is not cultivated at scale. So unless you’re in Japan, whatever you’re eating isn’t actually wasabi. As the Washington Post explains, “what sushi restaurants actually serve alongside spicy tuna rolls is a horseradish-based concoction that is injected with green food coloring, infused with various types of mustard, and, often even, a bunch of other chemicals.

      Treated our pups great!

      They brought our pups ice water & made sure to put in an order of a chicken breast without seasoning for our sweet pups. Their food was good, especially the Haunted Burger. The Hauntarita was good but the Bloody was loaded but small & not spicy at all, good thing my husband married a bartender so I spiced it up nice for him. All the servers stopped by to give belly scratches, we felt welcomed with the dogs.

      Wonderful Place

      We had 5 adults, 1 infant, and 4 Golden Retrievers. No problem. Ate on their covered deck with great view and good food.

      We All Three Loved It

      They were very crowded for a Wednesday afternoon, so I knew the food would be good. They said a 20-30 wait, but they texted me that our table was ready in about 10 minutes. and it was worth the wait

      Caffrey Approved!

      The patio is dog friendly, and Caffrey had her fresh water before her humans did. They grilled a chicken breast just for her, which disappeared in short order. On the human food side, the burgers were excellent – and HUGE! (Caffrey may have helped out with some of the burgers too!) The Moscow Mules were excellent 😊 And the view from the patio is outstanding!

      Amazing!

      We visited on a weekend in February and the whole town was packed! Prepare for that!! The restaurant was super busy, but they texted when a dog friendly table was ready. The food the delicious a land everyone was so nice to our dogs. We had three big dogs with us, which can be a nightmare in a crowded restaurant, so I was a little worried. But the staff was so nice and the dogs had plenty of room. They brought water for the dogs right away, and then brought a 2nd bowl so everyone could drink at the same time and they brought refills whenever the water ran low (even though I had a bottle of water for them).
      This place is worth the wait. I was very impressed with both the service and the food.

      Good Food but…

      Contrary to a few of the reviews on here I did not have a great experience. As we walked up to the building we saw a sign saying if you have a dog enter through the deck entrance over a stairwell. So we took the stairs that led down then up to the deck. We sat at a table after a few waitresses saw us but didn’t say anything. We were then approached by the manager (I believe) saying we didn’t check in and there was a wait and we shouldn’t have sat down. I then told him about he sign we saw and he declared there wasn’t a sign. I pointed to the sign I had seen and said I may have read it wrong and that I was sorry. He then stated that it’s not what That sign says. I apologized again and he gave us our menus (even though there was supposed to be a wait). The food was good but the service wasn’t great in the one that I sat a waitress snapped at a child for standing in the way and another waitress forget what a table ordered twice. Maybe it was a blue moon?

      No ghosts. whew.

      My humans loved their hamburgers and beer. But I got the better food when one of the staff gave me some duck jerky. Oh sweet mystery of life. At last I’ve found you.

      Nice Staff, View, Food

      We felt very accommodated on the patio where dogs are permitted. Great weeknight specials. Allow time to find parking and be prepared to walk steep hills.

    terrible action from Burger King and Google against LG and Samsung – Association of Retailers of Ukraine

    Marketing
    News
    Read on the weekend

    368

    Daria Osik

    New creative and interesting commercials of Ukrainian and foreign brands appear weekly. In this section, we collect the best.

    Read Ukrainian language

    Burger King

    To celebrate Halloween, Burger King will be giving away free food with one terrible condition – you need to order it during the witching hour.

    Every day before October 31st at 3am for an hour, a new free meal will appear in the Burger King app. Fast food lovers just had to download the app and wait for the offer. To promote this promotion, the brand has created a video showing exactly what time of the night spirits, ghosts and many obscure supernatural phenomena are most likely to appear. But if Burger King lovers dare to wake up at the scariest time of the day – 3:00 am on the scariest week of the year – they might encounter something truly paranormal: free burgers on the brand’s app.

    Reebok

    Reebok filmed a video in support of the brand’s new positioning. The new short film expands on the concept of “radical calm” and swipes through the Radicalm special women’s collection.

    Young R&B star Joyce Rice and singer, model and actress Candice Craig starred in this video. The new film continues to support Reebok’s campaign to rethink its concept. In this video, the brand speaks to its audience through the singers, asking them the question: “Do these shoes look good on my feet” and ending with questions like “Where do my feet end and the earth begins?”

    Puma

    Puma continues its partnership with Ukrainian artists and, after a project with Ivan Dorn, released an advertisement for the new Suede Mayu sneakers featuring Alina Pash, which was shot by Kyiv-based director Artem Shapirenko. The video contains an excerpt from Alina’s new song, included in her new mini-album. And in the video series, the singer demonstrates that in new sneakers you can go for a walk, run, play sports, ride a bike, because their convenience and aesthetics will fit perfectly into everyday life.

    Google

    Google makes fun of LG and Samsung smartphones in its new video and lists 113 reasons to upgrade to its mid-range Pixel 5a smartphones. The video offers several good reasons to buy a phone – a call screen anti-spam feature, excellent integration with Google services, high-quality photos and a fancy lens. The video also shows that the devices can be used as a meat board when baking a pie. The video also subtly pokes fun at rivals LG and Samsung. It’s “the best phone to switch to if your old phone maker stops making phones” (LG stopped making phones in January) and Google is “known for making internet services” not for making washing machines .

    Gap

    Gap unveiled its holiday marketing campaign for love and kindness, based on the retail brand’s “Modern American Optimism” philosophy introduced in September 2020. In the one-minute clip, American singer Katy Perry lives through the morning in a classic Gap hoodie while filming the music video for her cover of The Beatles’ 1967 song “All You Need Is Love.”

    As part of the campaign, Gap will donate $1 per Spotify stream of a new Perry cover up to $100,000 to Baby2Baby, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping underprivileged children.

    Terribly harmful and extremely tasty: 7 recipes for Kaliningraders who are not ready to say goodbye to McDonald’s

    Terribly harmful and extremely tasty: 7 recipes for Kaliningraders who are not ready to say goodbye to McDonald’s

    Photo: Klops archive

    We continue to share recipes for every day dishes.

    While the giants of the world’s fast food are leaving the country, Kaliningraders are crowding at the doors of the still-open McDonald’s. But you can cook not very healthy, but such delicious food at home – we found seven ideas.

    1. Home Big Mac, instructions from the YouTube channel “Recipes for lazy people”

    What do you need?

    1. two burger buns,
    2. two beef cutlets,
    3. 3 pickled cucumbers,
    4. slice of cheddar cheese,
    5. red onion quarter,
    6. small iceberg lettuce,
    7. 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise,
    8. each tablespoon of sweet mustard and canned pickle,
    9. a pinch of dried garlic,
    10. half teaspoon paprika,
    11. ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar (apple or lemon juice can be substituted)
    12. salt to taste.

    How do we cook?

    Finely chop a third of the head of iceberg lettuce, chop the onion into small cubes, cut the cucumber into rings. For the sauce in a bowl, mix mayonnaise, sweet mustard, garlic, paprika. Sprinkle with wine vinegar and brine, rub two pickled cucumbers. Mix everything thoroughly.

    Cut the buns into three parts, fry each of them in a frying pan for 30 seconds – readiness is determined by golden color. Cutlets keep on high heat for 2-3 minutes on each side, salt and pepper to taste.

    Assemble the Big Mac: place the sauce, onion and lettuce alternately on the bottom and middle parts of the bun. We place cheese on the bottom layer, cucumber rings on the middle one. We complete the “pyramids” with fried cutlets, after which we combine everything into a single burger.

    2. Chicken nuggets, instructions from the YouTube channel “Kitchen Recipes”

    What do you need?

    1. 500 grams of chicken fillet,
    2. 3 tablespoons lemon juice,
    3. 4 garlic cloves,
    4. chicken egg,
    5. half cup breadcrumbs,
    6. 4 tablespoons vegetable oil,
    7. salt, ground black pepper to taste.

    How do we cook?

    Cut the chicken fillet into several small pieces, sprinkle them with salt and pepper, add chopped garlic. Mix everything thoroughly. In a separate bowl, beat the egg with a little water – about 3-4 tablespoons.

    Pour the breadcrumbs onto a flat plate – pour the chicken into them after dipping them in the egg mixture. Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan, heat it up. Fry the nuggets on both sides until golden brown. When done, place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.

    3. Shrimp roll, recipe from the YouTube channel “Wife cooks”

    How do we cook?

    1. 6-8 large prawns without heads,
    2. 100 grams iceberg lettuce,
    3. quarter large onion,
    4. chicken egg,
    5. 80 grams of wheat flour and breadcrumbs,
    6. package of thin lavash,
    7. pinch of salt,
    8. frying oil,
    9. 4 tbsp garlic butter sauce,
    10. tablespoon of lemon juice,
    11. each teaspoon of soy sauce and sesame oil.

    How do we cook?

    Mix all ingredients for the sauce in a bowl. We beat the egg into a cup, salt and stir. Lettuce leaves cut into thin strips, onion – thin half rings.

    Defrost and clean shrimp in advance. When ready, roll them in succession in flour, egg and breadcrumbs. Fry over low heat until golden brown on each side.

    Lubricate the middle of the lavash with the prepared sauce, put lettuce leaves, onions and ready-made shrimps on top. Additionally, grease with a small amount of sauce, wrap in a roll. We cut off the excess.

    4. Fillet-o-fish, recipe from the YouTube channel “Homemade”

    What do you need?

    1. 200 grams of cod,
    2. each tablespoon of wheat flour and breadcrumbs,
    3. chicken egg,
    4. pickled cucumber,
    5. slice of cheddar cheese,
    6. two burger buns,
    7. half teaspoon dried onion,
    8. 50 ml vegetable oil,
    9. tablespoon of mayonnaise,
    10. teaspoon of sour cream,
    11. 1/4 teaspoon dill,
    12. salt to taste.

    How do we cook?

    Defrost cod. Mix mayonnaise, sour cream, onion and dill. Cut the cucumber into small cubes, add to the sauce, mix everything thoroughly. Pour the oil into a frying pan, roll the cod fillet alternately in flour, egg and breadcrumbs.

    Throw the fish into a heated frying pan, hold for 3-4 minutes on each side over medium heat. When ready, transfer to a paper towel. We cut the roll in half, cover the bottom layer with melted cheese and cod. Generously grease the fish with sauce and cover with the second part of the burger.

    5. Pita grik, recipe from the YouTube channel “Eat at Home”

    What do you need?

    1. one chicken fillet (can also use turkey),
    2. 150 milliliters of kefir,
    3. three sprigs of mint and fresh cilantro,
    4. 3 cucumbers,
    5. 6 garlic cloves,
    6. 4 tablespoons of olive oil,
    7. salt, pepper to taste,
    8. two bell peppers,
    9. three pits,
    10. half a lemon.

    How do we cook?

    Pass two cucumbers through a grater, chop garlic, mint, cilantro. We combine everything with kefir, two tablespoons of olive oil and lemon juice. Salt, pepper to taste, mix again. Cut the last cucumber into slices, bell pepper into rings.

    Chicken fillet cut into strips, salt and pepper. Add three chopped garlic cloves, drizzle with two tablespoons of olive oil and fry on both sides in a grill pan. After that, lightly brown the pita on it.

    Open the warmed pita, put vegetables and chicken inside, pour sauce on top. Decorate with herbs before serving.

    6. Apple pies, recipe from Family Kitchen YouTube channel

    What do you need?

    1. 80 ml water,
    2. 150 grams butter,
    3. 300 grams of wheat flour,
    4. chicken egg,
    5. half a teaspoon each of salt and cinnamon,
    6. 57 grams of sugar,
    7. half a tablespoon of vinegar 6%,
    8. 3 apples,
    9. half lemon,
    10. teaspoon starch.

    How do we cook?

    To make puff pastry, add salt, a teaspoon of sugar and vinegar to a bowl of water. Stir, break the egg and beat it with a fork until smooth. Rub the chilled butter into the bowl with flour. To prevent it from melting, quickly knead.

    Combine the prepared mixture with butter and flour. Knead by hand for about two minutes. Wrap the dough in cling film and put it in the refrigerator to cool down. For the filling, peel the apples from the peel and seeds, cut into small pieces and transfer to a ladle. So that the fruit does not darken, pour lemon juice. Stir, add sugar and mix again.

    1. Boil the apples on the stove for a few minutes until the sugar dissolves and the apples become soft. Keep on fire for another five minutes. Add water to the starch and mix so that there are no lumps.

    2. Pour the fruit over the mixture and keep on the stove for another minute, season with cinnamon, leave to cool. Cut the dough into pieces and roll into a thin layer. We form rectangles: put the filling on one of the sides, level it with a spoon. After we cover with the second part of the dough, pinch the edges with a fork. We send blanks to the freezer.

    3. Pour a lot of vegetable oil into a frying pan with high edges, put on fire. Readiness is determined by a piece of dough – it should float and begin to fry. Gently lower the pies and fry on both sides until golden brown, then transfer to a paper towel.

    7. McFlury, instructions from the Bon Appetit YouTube channel

    What do you need?

    1. 450 grams of ice cream,
    2. 150 ml milk,
    3. 150 ml cream 33% fat,
    4. half vanilla bean,
    5. chocolate/vanilla topping, caramel sauce, roasted nuts, chocolate balls, dragee to taste.

    How do we cook?

    Cut the vanilla pod lengthwise, scrape out the seeds from the inside – they will need to be mixed in a saucepan with milk and cream. We send the saucepan to the fire, bring to a boil and immediately remove.

    We filter everything through a sieve. We shift the ice cream into a bowl, add six tablespoons of the milk-cream mixture to it, beat with a submersible blender. Using a pastry bag, we shift the ice cream into glasses, send it briefly to the freezer.

    Decorate mcfluries with sweets before serving. We try different combinations: chocolate topping with chopped nuts, caramel sauce with dragees, strawberry topping with chocolate balls.
