"Literacy
and language should never end. I always take time to greet
each child each day. I answer questions about books in the
class room all day. We have put books all over our classrooms,
and try to continue the themes in the books in several different
content areas. Also a book never ends, two week from now I
will still talk about a book we have already read and bring
it out again." Posted by Kaybee
"Any really good children's book will have a problem
that gets solved before the story ends. Like, Caps for Sale
where the peddlar needs to get his caps back, or Peter Rabbit
who is trying to get home. One of the best things to do is
to ask the children what they think will happen next or predict
the ending(when you get to the most suspenseful part. After
the story, ask them to think of another ending for the story
or explain why they liked or didn't like the way it ended."
