Laminack and Wadsworth give a list of books to whet the appetite of teachers to bring the joy of language to students to increase the communication skills. First book is The Conversation Club is about learning to listen so you can become a better conversationalist. Next book is Quiet, Wyatt! This book is about Wyatt and he is always told to be quiet. So he gives people what they want, when they need help then Wyatt is quiet. He learns a lesson about when to communicate. The Scarecrow’s Hat is the book talked about next. Students in this book learn to how communication and compromise to meet other people’s needs and to have their own meet. The final book is The Very Busy Spider. This book is about a busy spider that learns to have fun with all the other barnyard animals. All these books are designed to teach students to communicate by increasing vocabulary, listening and talking skills.
I like the list of books! I always enjoy getting new book ideas and it is handy that they are written to help students learn, in this case about communication. I like introducing a concept through text.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great list. I like the one that teaches students to communicate and compromise to meet needs, this seems like it could really help them out both in class and life.
