"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." Posted by Sue Bredekamp
