Teaching
language arts with children's books is a recipe for educational
success! Most teachers have a wide range of language arts
resources
in their classrooms, but many forget that their own classroom
library is
perhaps one of the most powerful language arts resources of all.
Our booklists include links

Using children's
books in
language arts education will (1) provide 'real world' examples of the
language arts topic being taught, (2) add a reading
component to your lessons, (3) create a cross-curricular lesson
maximizing
teaching time in an already over- crowded school
day, (4) help
to differentiate
your lesson for different learning
styles in your classroom, and lastly (5) they're fun! Teaching
language arts with children's books really gets 'um engaged!
The
books listed below are great for teaching language arts for children

considering the
central role of
language arts education in the overall education system, we are always
adding more children's language arts books these lists. Check back
