Description

Lively and imaginative book-based programs make it easy to engage young learners, while building their literacy and reading skills, and their love of books and reading.

Your library or classroom will sizzle with excitement when you present these creative, book-based programs—and you just may have as much fun as the kids. Each of the ten chapters focuses on a popular theme or study area—Tropical Rainforests, Animals Down Under, In the Know (manners), and more—offering an annotated list of selected picture books and chapters books, and two complete programs with step-by-step instructions, materials lists, and all the reproducible patterns, scripts, and stories you'll need. Through reading, storytelling, puzzles, creative dramatics, writing exercises, arts and crafts, and more, you can engage young learners, while building their literacy and reading skills, and their love of books and reading. Children will delight in learning about amazing rainforest animals, performing a skit based on myths from ancient Egypt, writing their own fantasy stories, and holding a mouth-watering Medieval banquet. Designed for public and school libraries, these programs also fit beautifully into classroom studies. Grades K-6.

A sequel to Stories Never Ending (2004), this volume follows the same pattern of offering fiction, nonfiction, activities, creative crafts, drama, games, and puzzles related to 10 different themes, for example, Welcome to the Middle Ages and A Glimpse of Tropical Rainforests. A nice feature is the way each chapter has separate sections for programs in school libraries and public libraries, reflecting the fact that programming needs might be different….[t]he ideas are so interesting that it's a pleasure to read through the book, and the programs may encourage children to read beyond their levels. Every library serving children should own and use this invaluable resource.
