D for Dråber

     Hver dag klokken 12 (undtagen søndag) kommer dagens A-Z indlæg hvis der altså kommer et.
     Temaet for i år er Drømme - dobbelthed, så lad os se, hvad der falder mig ind til det tema.

Ⓐ - Ⓩ

  Every day at noon (except Sundays) a new A-Z post goes live - or no post today.
  The theme for this year, is Dream - Duality. let's see what crosses my mind on this theme.


D for Dråber / Droplets


     Jeg var løbet tør for  ideer med D, men en random ord-generator gav mig Dråber. Så dem må jeg fortælle noget mere om.
     Dråberne har deres egen blog. Regnbuedråberne  Her fortæller En lille forhistorie om hvem de er. Men ikke om, hvordan de er opstået. Dengang vi flyttede ind i huset her, var der et gammelt æbletræ med meget sure æbler. En dag vi sad og tegnede, tegnede Storesøster en lille, dråbeformet fyr, og fortalte, at han altså boede ude i de sure æbler. I lang, lang tid derefter fortalte Uglemor en fortsats-godnathistorie om Dråberne, deres eventyr og kvaler.
     De blev tegnet, og de blev også brugt til at lære Trolli, Spirillen, Minimax og Piraten at læse og regne, noder, klokken og mange andre sære ting. Mestendels ved at Dråberne kom ud for små uheld eller hjalp dyr og blomster i haven.



  I was - already - out of ideas for the A-Z Challenge. A random Word Generator gave me Dråber - Droplets. I got to tell a bit more of them.
  They have their own blog, The Rainbow Droplets. Here a How it all began, tells of who the Droplets are. But how they came to be is not in it. When we moved in, we had an apple tree in the garden, carrying very sour, inedible apples. One day, we sat drawing, BigSis drew a small guy with a drop as a head and told me he lived inside the sour apples. After this day,the good night story was an instalment of the Droplets' adventures - often very similar to what The Owlets had been up to. 
 As the family grew, the Droplets took on responsibility. They helped Trolli, Marsupilami, MiniMax, and Pirate in their reading and counting journey. They taught music, moral and many ohter things.Of course never explicitly, but hidden in a good story.
.

     Her er den første side i Regnbuebogen EN FED GED! Beregnet til at lære om det bløde D i udlyd.
     Min drøm var at skrive en serie læsebøger,  der var logisk opbygget og med søde og uskyldige historier, der fik Ugleungerne til at lide og grine med Dråberne mens de lærte at læse uden at tænke over det.
     De virkede faktisk, Ugleungerne blev gode til at læse. Men jeg kom aldrig videre med ideen.



This is a dummy of the first page of A Fat Goat. Written in simple, short words and with lots of them ending in D, which at the end of Danish words is [ð], an almost voiceless sound much like th in this.
  My dream was to create a system for beginner reading, build logically and with happy, innocent stories, making the Owlets suffer and smile with the Droplets while learning. 
   My idea worked, all the Owlets turned into good readers - some of them despite their teachers doing their worst - but I never got any further than writing 8 of around 24 planned books.

  1. Reading is an incredible gift. I am endlessly grateful to my parents for instilling my love of it - which I strongly suspect is also true of the Owlets.

  2. You could still write the rest of the stories, i am sure they'd be popular with other parents of young readers.

    1. Or at least I could write for my grandkids. The oldest is an avid reader already.

  3. I like your book idea and wish you had gone on with it. Perhaps again soon? I don't think we have any words with a soft D, none that I can think of anyway.

  4. The Droplets sound like good teachers. Perhaps you'll finish this book idea later on.

    Have a lovely day.
