If you can make children excited about a topic, then it doesn't feel like education. At least that's my philosophy. At Catnap Stories® we believe in making learning fun by creating some exciting adventures centred around our beloved feline friends and in particular, following the antics of Vince the Cat.
Learn to speak Spanish
by Heidi Bryant 05 Oct, 2022
There's no doubting the fact that the world has changed during the first six months of 2020, and with it learning habits and ability to move around freely. If you are one of the brave, restless or defiant souls who is planning on taking a summer holiday you may be interested to know it's not as scary or difficult as you might be led to believe. Having recently returned from Spain, I can speak with some authority.
Vince Discovers the Golden Triangle
by Heidi Bryant 05 Oct, 2022
Throughout anyone's life and maybe that of an author, there are so many things that can and do inspire you and I don't know if you're like me; when you're happy ideas and creativity just flow. Everyone comes across bumps in the road and challenges and when those happen they really do slow you down physically and mentally.
Learn to Speak French - Vince Goes to Paris - Catnapstories.com
by Heidi Bryant 05 Oct, 2022
Why not start when they are toddlers? I studied languages relatively late in life when I started grammar school – but children, even when they are toddlers can easily pick up another language. Last year I decided to write my first book, which enables parents to help their children learn French. So, here are a few tips to help your child learn French in a fun way! And as a parent you can also learn French too. Many parents may consider hiring a French tutor, but this may prove ineffective as learning another language would generally take more than one or two hours a week. Children learn by repetition — constant repetition — and learning a language is no different. One of my customers who owns the book The Adventures of Vince the Cat – Vince Goes to Paris has told me that he has read the book over 40 times to his daughter at her request. He then pleaded with me to write another book!!
