Integrating stories and poetry are important
because...
  • Literature brings content area studies to life.
  • Children can view yesterdays world and todays.
  • Settings of many stories provide historical and
    geographical information.
  • Conflict situations the characters face provide
    us glimpses into cultural, economic, and
    political issues.
  • Stories are an important way of learning social
    studies, science and math.
  • Integrate drama and role playing events.
  • Poetry books are also available for all content
    areas.

Content Area Textbooks
  • It is recommended that teachers teach with
    textbooks and that they incorporate other types
    of reading materials and activities.

Textbooks can be difficult for children...
  • They read differently then story books.
  • Textbooks only briefly touch upon a subject.

Curriculum Integration
  • Using books to teach math concepts.
  • Mathematics is portrayed in a meaningful context
    and is fun.
  • Literature demonstrates that math develops out of
    human experience.

NCTMs recommendations
  • NCTM has recommended that teachers move away from
    traditional text and empower students to
    construct their own knowledge of math. Using
    trade books meets this recommendation.
