Library media specialists, classroom teachers, and other educators who work with preschool through intermediate students will find this explanatory guide immensely helpful in making thematic connections to curriculum objectives that are well-supported by literature. In the frameworks, common elementary school topics--from Apples to Zoos--are used as building blocks for classroom workshop activities. Combine the blocks to support any theme or curricular unit. You can also select activities within each topic to integrate selected books and activities into the existing curriculum, such as focusing on Johnny Appleseed in the "A is for Apples" unit. The framework for each reading unit suggests resources and literature-related materials to match the curriculum, and gives ideas for integrating the resources into a particular theme. All of the frameworks are easily adapted to your students' interest level and learning goals.
