Reading is not a duty, and has consequently no business to be made disagreeable.

SPOTLIGHT ON: NEW BOOKS

We have a new book in the Teacher Resource Room:

Crash! Bang! Boom! Exploring Literary Devices through Children's Literature

According to the table of contents, this book contains activities for the following language arts skills:

Titles for teaching main idea; Titles for teaching setting; Titles for teaching cause and effect; Titles for teaching prediction; Titles for teaching inference and drawing conclusion; Titles for teaching point of view; Titles for teaching characterization; Titles for teaching word study; Titles for teaching alliteration; Titles for teaching onomatopoeia; Titles for teaching similes.

On the table of contents page, I highlighted the books that we actually have in our library.  If you need any of the other books, you can check them out from the public library.  You can search the Waycross Public Library's online catalog to see if they have the books.  

If you are teaching any of the literary devices, I have created a list of other books that we have that are good for teaching those skills.  Not all of them are mentioned in this book.
