Full Description
This standard professional handbook offers comprehensive, thoroughly annotated lists of the best children's books of 2010, plus lesson plans, teacher's guides, stories, songs, and Internet resources.
The WINNERS! Handbook: A Closer Look at Judy Freeman's Top-Rated Children's Books of 2010 is built around a list of the 100 best books of the year. Each entry includes a meaty and thoughtful annotation, a germ (a series of practical, pithy ideas for reading, writing, and illustrating prompts and other activities across the curriculum), a useful list of exemplary related titles, and subject designations to help you ascertain where the book might fit thematically into your curricular plan or program.
Like all of the previous editions, this book provides scores of useful and fun ideas, activities, lessons, and ways to incorporate literature into every aspect of your day. From story hour to curriculum tie-ins, the many connections here include everything from strategies for comprehension to games, crafts, songs, creative drama, booktalking, and more.
