Don’t Leave the Story in the Book : Using Literature to Guide Inquiry in Early Childhood Classrooms Paperback / softback
by Mary Hynes-Berry
Part of the Early Childhood Education Series series
Paperback / softback
Description
Drawing from 30 years of teaching and professional development experience, this book offers a roadmap for using children's literature to provide authentic learning.
Featuring a ''storyteller's voice,'' each chapter includes a case study about how a particular fiction or nonfiction work can be used in an early childhood classroom; a series of open-ended questions to help readers construct their own inquiry units; and a bibliography of children's literature.
This book provides a unique synthesis of ideas based on constructivist approaches to learning, including the importance of positive dispositions and learning communities, the nature of higher-order thinking, and the relationship between methods such as guided inquiry in the sciences and balanced literacy.
