Book Description
From the creator of TAKING A BATH WITH THE DOG comes a fanciful new heroine-- and a wry look at a world where objects are footloose and fancy-free. Features an audio read-along! She and her mom are almost home, but this little girl is soooooo tired! Her legs hurt, and even the lure of fresh cupcakes isn’t enough for her to take another step. Why can’t the house have legs and walk to them? For that matter, what if everything had legs? With her imagination running wild—and visions of worms with wiggly toes, rakes that jump into leaves, rolls that rock, and other high-stepping surprises—will a little girl’s legs get the boost they need to carry her the rest of the way?

Transforming Preschool Storytime

Publisher: American Library Association
ISBN: 1555708056
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
According to recent research, the best way to make new connections in a child’s brain is by building on something already known. A child who loves a book will listen to it repeatedly, maintaining interest. Using a selected book in a number of consecutive preschool storytimes, but presenting it differently each time, can help children learn new skill sets. This book presents a new approach to storytime, one that employs repetition with variety to create an experience which helps children connect and engage with the story on a higher level. Diamant-Cohen, recently awarded the 2013 ASCLA Leadership and Professional Achievement Award, and Hetrick offer a year’s worth of activities specifically designed to address multiple intelligences through a repetition-based process. Incorporating recent theories on developmental learning, this book includes Scripts for 8 different books, with enough activities to repeat each one for six weeks, along with lists of optional alternative books Planning aids such as outlines of storytime sessions, a fill-in-the-blanks planning sheet, questions for evaluation, and tips for enhanced storytimes using props and crafts Detailed but straightforward explanations of theory and research that will help readers communicate effectively with parents, caregivers, and other stakeholders From setup to execution, here’s everything you need to create and implement a successful, elevated storytime.

More than that, these stories offer glimpses into a community and a world now lost. They are also, in part, parables of modern life, drawing as much on the transformative possibility of scripture as they do on gritty depictions of the Berlin street.
