Curriculum Guides

First and foremost, all of these books are to be read and enjoyed by readers. Whether they listen to a book being read by an adult or a peer or read the book independently, children and youth can share their responses to the print and the illustrations in books in order to help them make connections between texts and their own lives. In educational settings, readers can share their responses in partner, small group, and whole class discussions. They can write and draw their responses as well.

These downloadable Teaching Tools: Curriculum Guides provide six or seven additional learning engagements for each title. These engagements are suggestions for ways to integrate these books into classroom curricula. Educators and parents can pick and choose from these suggestions. Although some of these learning engagements are recommended as preparation for reading the book, most engagements do not have to be done in any particular order, and each one can stand alone.
