Teach Literacy and Life Lessons with Children's Literature
Engage your students in good books and build a community of readers and writers in your classroom. Get started with these favorites from my bookshelf. Find book companions and reader response pages to enhance your reading experience.
Read. Write. Talk. Listen. Talk. and Learn. Trust these masterful writers to turn your students into avid readers. Know that the more they love to read, the more they read and the more they read, the more they learn. Highlight a block of time in your planner for read aloud and listening to a good book. Reading aloud to your students whets their appetite for books that are a bit challenging but are perfect for the listening level. Wash new words over your listeners, stop and talk about the story elements and events, model new reading strategies... all of this improves reading achievement.
Read. Write. Talk. Listen. Talk. Read. Learn.
