Although Clifford books are based on rather ordinary events, such as camping, going to the seashore and holidays, Clifford always tried to do the right thing, but he does make mistakes. These books help children learn that it is OK to make mistakes and that you can learn from your mistakes. Summary: These books take place in different places and settings. For example— holidays and community helpers. Concerns: none Suggested Classroom use: These books are great to teach about American holidays and customs. They also introduce the different types of community workers. Reading Level: Grade 1 Title: Frog and Toad (series) Author: Arnold Lobel Theme: Adventures of two best friends who are somewhat like the “odd couple.” They have distinctly different personalities. Frog is usually cheerful, while Toad tends to view things from a pessimistic side. Summary: The stories take place in different settings, such as Frog or Toad’s house, or in the meadow. Concerns: none Suggested Classroom use: Compare and contrast characters, character traits, cause and effect. Science—observe differences between frogs and toads. Reading Level: 2nd – 3rd grade Title: Amelia Bedelia Series Author: Peggy Parish Theme: An unforgettable housekeeper who has no idea what idioms or homonyms are. She does exactly what people tell her to do and takes everything they say literally. Plot summary: The Amelia Bedelia series are great stories about a hilarious housekeeper who misunderstands everyone and usually turns every task into one more mistake. Like when asked to trim the chicken for dinner she does just that, by trimming it with lace. Her employers are usually very frustrated by her misunderstandings, but always seem to forgive her. Concerns: none Suggested classroom use: These are great stories to use when discussing idioms and homonyms. They also lead into some very funny and exciting writing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Class sets and teacher resources available from the Book Depository Page 5 Numbers preceding titles indicate reading levels February 2004 Board of Education USD #287 West Franklin Approved Novels Reading Level: Grades 2 – 4 Title: Horrible Harry Series Author: Suzy Kline Theme: The stories are set up in a Second Grade classroom with students learning about everyday problems in the life of an 8 year old.

The KinderCorner curriculum is a comprehensive language and literacy based curriculum which consists of 16 two week themed units that provides daily opportunities for students to demonstrate comprehension of narrative and expository texts. Teachers engage students in interactive reading of texts using background information and personal experiences to help students comprehend, draw conclusions, and make predictions about these texts. Mid-year, KinderCorner introduces simple, phonetically regular stories that students read with support. Each of these stories provides students with the opportunity to use background information to assist comprehension while they read, make predictions, and answer questions during story discussion. At the end of each story students engage in story-related writing that allows them to demonstrate their comprehension of the story. As the students are able to write more complex answers, more open-ended questions provide opportunity for them to cite textual evidence in their responses. Daily components that implement these skills include: x Spotlight On–Students discuss the daily focus for the unit, frequently using expository texts to initiate understanding and exploration of the theme-related concepts for the unit and the day.
