Content
This workshop
helps teachers to use children's literature books to teach and reinforce
basic reading and language arts skills. The handbook, Teacher's Guide
to Reading and Language Skills by Donna M. Miller, evaluates
over five hundred children's books and poems according to usability
as an instructional tool. Children's books are matched with the basic
skills and objectives needed for success in reading. Many of the books
listed are accompanied by a brief example of how the skills can be taught
using that specific work.
Participants
will leave the workshop with five fully developed lesson plans for teaching
these basic skills in a poem and five lesson plans for teaching these
skills in a book.
This workshop
makes teachers more aware of basic reading skills and shows how teachers
can use not only the books listed, but any good children's literature
as a vehicle to teach reading and language skills.
