Teaching Reading and Literature in Early Elementary Grades contains dozens of lively and thought-provoking activities for helping very young readers to grow into the world of literature. The volume begins with a focus on skills such as predicting and sequencing, then progresses toward more complex experiences that involve response, discussion, and collaborative work. A final section gathers together ideas for interdisciplinary and multisensory approaches to reading, ranging from concrete, tactile exercises to strategies embracing fine arts, social studies, science, and mathematics.
