I Like Books by ISBN: 0763621625Publication Date: 2004-07-08
Use early in the year to introduce a wide variety of texts. Pay special attention to the illustrations. "Fat books" shows a fat monkey. "Scary stories" shows a ghost hovering behind the monkey. Very clever, and the kids pick up on these visual cues.
Have a stack of books nearby that parallel books highlighted in the story. For example, show a ghost story, pirate story, monster book, and counting book. As the kids show interest, pass them out to get the group reading right away! I like to use an alphabet book to take them through the ABCs so that they can show me what they know.

Use the three "Box Books" as a project for creating reading boxes to add to classroom reading corners. At the beginning of the year, there are always a lot of shipping boxes from the annual book order. So, a box project is perfect for back to school.
