LITERATURE BASED

The second grade teachers at Dallas Christian School developed a reading program using children's literature . We chose books that we thought would be of value to our students and would co-ordinate with our science and social studies units. We got ideas from several sources, (See links below).
The books we taught were Chalk Box Kid, Flat Stanley, Boxcar Children, Stone Fox, Lily and Miss Liberty, Helen Keller, The Tree That Would Not Die, and Little House in the Big Woods. The other lessons have been contributed by other teachers.
We purchased paperback books and had our moms to help us cover them with clear contact paper to make them more durable.
Word study pages using a phonics approach were made for each lesson. Comprehension pages are included for most of the books. The lessons are free and available for your use. You can print them off and use them in any way that you see fit, but we ask that they not be published for profit.
You can find a synopsis of each book at Amazon.com .

AND TEACHING THE LESSONS
Internet Resources for the Students to Accompany Each Book
You will find resources such as DVDs, books, games,and puzzles etc. to accompany some of the units.

OTHER RESOURCES FOR DEVELOPING A READING PROGRAMThe silhouettes at the top of the page came from antique copies of a teacher magazine that were saved by a family member, Roxie Soules, who taught for many years in the school at Hermleigh, Texas.
Elizabeth Upham-McWebb, "Aunt Bett" as she was called, drew the Safety Posters back in 1934.
Aunt Bett died in 2004 at the age of 99. She lived on her own until the age of 97 in Monroe, Michigan. She had two roomers who helped her out with some of the chores and cooking. Up until her death she still painted Little Brown Bear on mugs for children who asked. Her friend Valerie Johnson contacted us and told us about "Aunt Bett".
On October 7, 2002 Aunt Bett was honored with a statue of her Little Brown Bear
