Bringing Heart and Mind into Storytime
Author: Heather McNeil
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1440877181
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 231
Book Description
Learn how to use children's books during storytime to approach sensitive topics and increase children's social-emotional wellness-and how to create storytimes that are engaging, participative, and FUN! The emotional challenges many children experience consume the time of teachers, exhaust parents, and sometimes lead children toward behaviors that prohibit social and academic success. Storytime to the rescue! Library storytimes prepare children for kindergarten; storytimes at home and in preschools allow teachers, parents, and children to think and talk about empathy and the importance of honoring your own and others' feelings. In Bringing Heart and Mind into Storytime, Heather McNeil teaches librarians and teachers how to use books to open conversations with children to teach such concepts as patience, tenacity, kindness, and teamwork. McNeil shares research on brain development, social-emotional learning, and the importance of play, but she also emphasizes maintaining the fun of storytime. She recommends songs, action rhymes, games, and crafts that contribute to fun and healthy storytimes. Extensive lists of recommended books will help readers find the right ones for their audience.

It takes star quality to reach the top and Poppy knows where her talent lies. She doesn't want to be the star, she wants to be the star-maker, wheeling and dealing her way to the top. For Daisy Markham, life at her English boarding school is unbearable. Overweight and underachieving, she's an easy target for her cruel classmates. But Daisy escapes her misery by devouring trashy bestsellers, and she's starting to think she'd be better off writing them than reading them. Three women determined to get exactly what they want, who share more than burning ambition and dreams of success. What binds them is a secret they could have never imagined.
