There’s a structure to language we all learn when we’re young a flow to the words that could almost be sung Something most of us learned from the great Dr. Seuss with his chartreuse villains rhythm reminiscent of mother goose And his imaginative worlds so perplexingly abstruse told with a simplified language even a kid could deduce His name was Theodor Geisel, the man who coined the word “nerds” and wrote green eggs and ham with just 49 words He made reading a tool kids could finally enjoy Not like Dick and Jane books which would bore and annoy In much of his work he used this literary trick Its a rhyming tetrameter that's anapestic It’s that signature style thats always greeted with laughter It’s just 2 unstressed syllables and 1 stressed syllable after "And to day the Great Yer tle, that mar velous he Is King of the Mud. That is all he can see." Studies show that that rhythm helps with core memorization And it builds children’s confidence with classroom dictation Some constraints on a canvases language design Gives a structure to reading and a writing guideline You could see all the kids were finally reading by choice These stories told through the voice of Dr. Theodor ‘Soice’ And yes ‘soice’ is correct, he’s of german descent Its just harder to say with an American accent And the semblance to goose helped skyrocket his fame Kids preferred saying Seuss, so he stuck with that name But his acclaim wasn’t bound to just one single nation His stories exported through the gift of translation The books phrasing and language in which they were written works perfectly fine in the US or Britain but to reach out to the world and all of its culture hello’s not enough, you need hola and bonjour And not just the words but the rhyme patters too like poisson un poisson duex poisson rouge poisson bleu With designs in the hundreds all with distinct features translators worked hard to rename all these creatures Translating them all with their essence intact while preserving the fun had a major impact on the habits of reading of kids at young ages theres so many lessons in the words on these pages

Don't listen to him kids, quantity always leads to quality. Don't think twice that his works gave him invulnerability to miskates. We learn by error, and error is a mirror, that can fix those treats. They are all opportunities, but opportunities that most don't see in the first place. So take these words and make more then your heart can take , Because mastery is a journey that only the braves may take.

You know my fine amazing friend, I have to praise you for being the channel I listen to when walking in the halls of my school. For being the one to interest me with every single video you make where you analyze everything both new and old and giving me something to think about to get me through my day. Thank you very much.

This guy's videos just keep getting better and better! Have a good christmas Kap!

I bet this guy's shit is quality

I love that even the video's title is in rhyme.

Every video you put out is automatically among the best on all of KZread. I love what you're doing, please keep it up!

every video impresses me even more

You're an inspiration. Thanks for inspiring me to start making my own video essays this year.

Absolutely one of my favorite channels on KZread! Keep up the great work man

This channel does fantastic work. Great video, Incredibly informative, wonderfully put together and so enjoyable. Hope you can keep doing this for a long time. I think I'll watch the video again.

This video was absolutely phenomenal. You should write raps.

your videos are something i always look towards, great job

Why TF is this not in my recommendation This is literally the most youtube recommendation video ever

Knocking it out the park again and again Kap. Exquisite rhyming there too. Happy Christmas bro.

After all the controversy surrounding Dr. Seuss, I really needed this video. :)

Jesus, you are a legend

Incredible as always! I never comment but wanted you to know the obvious hours you pour into these are greatly appreciated. Keep it up!

I've been going through all of your videos and this is probably the best one so far. So much work put into such a short but sweet video. I love how all of your videos have a similar format but each one is unique and interesting. I aspire to make content as good as this. Thanks for sharing these videos

You're killing the game. Seriously great job man! Always can count on you for a last hope in KZread content
