a buzz back to the future center public library i am a stand in and i am and we are here to bring all the juvenile information that you need to know right into your living room did you like that but it we also talk about use teens ok for thought oh absolutely food for thought always i like this one i know that we've talked kind of similar about it before but every time it comes up i love reading it it was a very short to the point article it was called reading information aloud to yourself improves memory of materials and this would be good for all the students here as well because it talks about this is this is where all recent out of the universe university of waterloo  forgot that's right you're a couple years younger than i am ok so anyway this is something that's not a surprise but i like to remind people but i and i think i like a do it because i like to remind myself because as i age you know  memory thing you know it's something those are not so this is a summary is you are more likely to remember something if you read it out loud ok so a recent study found that speaking text in this is helping when you study and you've got you know read these reports and stuff helps to get the words into long term memory if you if you say it aloud and they dub it the production effect i like that production effect the you see me walk walking around i talk to myself in the library anyway you know walking around and we all do like one of our department is a sign of the juvenile department but if you find me talking to myself more often a reason working on my memory that's what i'm doing ok so this study confirms that learning and memory benefit from active involvement and this makes so much sense because they talk about what is your age to keep your memory going and keep you with it you know like for the elderly to do crossword puzzles scrabble or you know cards or just anything to keep them thinking in them their thing going but this piece is so perfect for us because we read to the kids and we we are advocates of getting moms to parents and families to read to their kids and that says that when we consider the practical applications of this research in the again they brought seniors up about doing puzzles crosswords the idea of action or activity in your brain work improves the memory i believe and i say so but this is  can i read the next one where if i was going to be graded on this i would get an f well not totally enough but sliding down this is something else that helps with memory regular exercise  movement or strong building blocks blocks for a c i can't even say it that's how bad blocks for a good memory we move around we move around a lot but are they talking very treadmills and  i'm going to end it with the latest study shows that part of the memory benefit of speech stems from it being personal in self referential and this made me think of i can't remember and we've talked about this and i make these comments i can't remember what i had for dinner last night what did i do it's thursday it's thursday i have to really stop and think what did i do on monday but if a song comes on the radio darn it good know it could like i say i got along is that everything you learned as a teen and young adult are the songs you remember like i may not be to pick up a lyric of a song that's out today but if it was something from my teens i could probably still tell you all the words you read and heard for ten years wait a minute i would challenge you on that you don't know any of the lyrics to any of the taylor swift songs true ok gotcha so they stay in my memory well now loud and not in my head now if i sing it out loud it does singing it out loud doesn't go into my at all you know no that's not true because i've got all the little kid songs memorized just like that this study was recently published in the journal and the journal is called memory of all things so there it is i like it m and like the rhythm of it over well you know well if we're going to stay on that i was impressed when my kids when they were in elementary school and they went and i know it's the same at both elementary schools here in peter's my kids went to pleasant valley and i remember i thought it was the coolest thing when they were going that they would do these shows and things and like they were singing the president's name and they were you know they know everything in order they know all of this stuff the planet like because it was all songs you know that i still know today because of the exactly do we know it today you know like the very every president in order no but my kids could sing the you know and there it got it so they're singing you know the president's name in a nice song and i'm singing waterloo back speaking of elementary school things a scary special holiday that we celebrate in the lab recently while i guess it is in the sun you know what in the literary world it is it is it's a day to remember and that is dr seuss's birthday schools and libraries across the country always do something fun to honor him so we're having a party yes we do so we're having a dr seuss party in a local did you bring her  good book and she has donated this beautiful dr seuss wanted us for us to raffle off at our dr seuss party but if you would like to have anyone created she can do pretty much just about anything the if you look closely at her picture here she has like a sports want  she's actually going to donate some proceeds to the library which is awesome so that little vibe or a fundraiser but to kind of get us excited about it we have this one to raffle off our event for it will be a free raffle to honor dr seuss that's going to be on thursday march  first at six thirty so and these we raffled off to a friend at our national take your child to the library day they were really popular they went first which very raffled off for she gave us two of them to raft right off for them to get them out of there and so right away i was like ok you're hired and talked about doing one for an author that we love in our library jackie urbana vic and she's working special on that and she really goes out of her way to make copies of things that make things work and you know she was taking her illustrations and having it printed on fabric and i mean i don't believe a bowl unbelievable that she's on different memorial pillows which i think is really a nice gesture so just finally you know what really well you love like with as your son gets lucas gets older and older like something like this you put the book in there and you have him in the back seat and he's like snuggling up with this pillow and then when he's not snuggling off goes reading his book and best part about it though is the cover comes off the limousine washable so it is that at the santa that is the best part about anything involving a child you can wash and actually she she was talking to us about it if you remember she said that she used to do these and not have the pillow it didn't include the pillow which made it a lot less expensive but i don't think it's expensive for all the work that she puts into this just the cook brought the cost down a little bit but it wasn't worth it it's harder to find you know the exact pillows and everything i love it just as it is i did it comes as already ready made gift i love it's a great gift the holidays are as far away as we think you know so  work if i have to do flour and water so what i want to do is give all the kids a little container of it and then they can put in like the cutting the coloring and then they can mix it up and then you know so that would be fun so so look at this actually this was a donation and i'm somebody along a while ago and i've just kind of had it on my shelves and funny what you find now that we didn't even mention now that we've had the whole really only about two weeks it took yeah we did we had no other in between so ok i was going to read one of these but i was going to just read a short green eggs and ham i love that one but they're like little sue not kids are young and i want everyone all right at whatever success so be sure when you step step with care and great tact and remember that life's a great balancing act and will you succeed the benefit of working in libraries that i get a hold of damage dr seuss well you know what else makes me like get emotional about that story too is that that's one that you know if they're seen it's a perfect graduation do this morning is that was me this morning i love this one i'm not going to get these like you know you could bring in the police you can bring in the marching band but i stayed in bed that would be great for high school kids yeah i'm not going to get up today i'm not so that this is one of my another one of my factually that was me this morning because it's such a rainy day i just lay there looking out the window watching the rain going to i really have to go out and really so that yeah that's a good one although i did get that if you get the peters patch i don't know if you caught this if there's any kids in here that aren't seniors there they're making the day of the school day start later next year i did see that isn't  call for the high school in the middle i think the middle or you for that high school it's not going to affect anybody else you know so even fifteen minutes and but it will affect their lunches and everything but fifteen minutes at that at this age makes a big difference i'd toss an extra fifteen minutes well yeah i was actually going to watch them when i would watch my kids and you're like how do they expect them to get up and be ready to go at six thirty in the morning and then by like nine in the morning they're eating lunch members like swinging by and go what are they all doing in the cafeteria was so early right i'm like i haven't even had a full cup of coffee and there was a lunch so i'm happy for you guys really happy that is good it's better jane minutes but every little bit helps there's actually research that the teenage brain does the even like function as well that time the day so that i've heard of other schools even have flip flop their elementary schedule with their heads yeah yeah you know because they would do better on the little ones are up  and ready to go yeah like lucas is up at seven and he could start his day that's true yeah that would be something good to consider but just good too so they will take it all right so moving on from dr seuss we also have a lot of holidays and going all right now we're in st patrick's day mode ok everything but the green beer ok all right i don't like beer ok dr oh that would be me over the rainbow stories i'm actually we
