ISBN:
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 174
Book Description
Reading aloud to young children has been advocated as a vital experience in literacy development both at home and school. Studies show that participation with adults and peers in book reading at home and school increases young children's desire to read and improves their reading comprehension. Often, however, teachers and parents need guidance on which books to select out of more than 50,000 children's books in print. To simplify the search for quality picture books, this book provides annotations of the 200 best-selling picture books and offers ideas on how to share them with children. It contains descriptions of best-selling picture books-both old and new. Titles were selected for inclusion based on the volume of sales, rather than the tastes of a single individual or small committee. Books are grouped by suggested age levels. --From publisher's description.

Philosophy Sucks . . . Kids Right In!
Author: Nel de Theije - Avontuur
Publisher: Turner Publishing Company
ISBN: 0897936922
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 154
Book Description
Philosophizing — considering life questions — stimulates thinking: processing information, reasoning, thinking creatively, evaluating alternatives. Many children are natural philosophers. They observe the world around them from a young age, have a keen sense of right and wrong, and ask endless questions. Stories — fables, fairy tales, parables — are a classic device for teaching lessons about life, morality, chance, consequences, and other cultures to audiences both young and old. Philosophy Sucks...Kids Right In! is a guide that parents and educators can use to structure and guide this process. Contributors Nel de Theije and Leo Kaniok have collected 40 short stories that encourage children to ponder the themes of happiness, love, friendship, peace, freedom, respect and equality — and more. An introductory chart clearly lays out the age groupings the stories are appropriate for, a primary theme, possible secondary themes, and the teaching purpose of the story. Many stories come with discussion papers that suggest areas of exploration with children of different age groups (4-6, 6-8, 8-10 and 10-12) and grades. The open-ended questions stimulate children to experience the stories more intensely, encourage self-reflection, and seek their own answers to the big questions of life.
