Description of this Textbook

Stories are a powerful means to explore dilemmas and issues that children encounter every day. In this insightful book, the authors take 21 of our most-loved and well-known picture books and look at how to share them effectively with children. Each picture book covered has 2 sections of guidance: one to be used at school and a second to be photocopied and used at home. Both sections contain story details, talking points and ideas for activities. In addition, the classroom sections include circle time ideas, motions for class debates and assembly suggestions. These sections can be used for small group work and one-to-one activities. This innovative book explores such themes as self-awareness, managing feelings, motivation, empathy and social skills. Through engaging with wonderful stories and reflecting on the themes they cover, you will be helping the children you teach to understand and enjoy life more fully - to be changed for the better by each story you encounter together. It is for teachers and for parents - introducing children to picture books.
