All about literacy for kids

I enjoy reading children's books because I am on my way to be an elementary school teacher!!!

Great for all ages

The Giving Tree - Shel Silverstein

This book is great for all ages.  It could be used in the classroom to teach about giving to others and not wanting anything in return; especially around the holiday season.

Christmas in the classroom

Little Blue Truck's Christmas - Alice Schertle, Jill McElmurry

This book would be a great brain break around Christmas.  This could be used in lower elementary classroom to introduce Christmas and discuss other holidays around the world during the Christmas season.

Halloween

Little Blue Truck's Halloween - Alice Schertle, Jill McElmurry

This book would be a great way to celebrate a fall holiday.  Also, it could be used to incorporate other culture's fall holiday in older elementary school.... could be turned into a research/presentation project.

Little Blue Truck

Little Blue Truck - Alice Schertle, Jill McElmurry

This book encourages children to help their friends.  It also covers most animal sounds for younger children.  It could be used in a reading center for younger elementary students learning how to read.  Also, it could be used for a 3rd grade small group guided reading lesson where students could participate in role play.
