DESCRIPTION:
The authors' balanced literacy program teaches strong reading, writing, and critical thinking skills. Instead of using a "skill and drill" approach, the authors employ conversations, questions, and, meaning-based activities to stimulate children's curiosity, confidence, and thirst for knowledge. To develop those skills, each chapter's central storybook is accompanied by strategies that employ art, music, drama, finger rhymes, poetry, math and science activities. Graphics and children's presentations illustrate how research and discovery through fiction can enliven whole-class and individually directed projects.. Peak With Books shows how to use popular children's literature to build reading, writing, and cognitive skills in an inquiry-based environment
