The Castle in the Classroom describes a year in a kindergarten
classroom as the children embark on literary exploration. Each
child approaches the journey from a different perspective - some
are self-sufficient, others more hesitant; some are literary
adventurers, others shyly reluctant. The detailed focus lessons
throughout the book use the power of stories - personal narratives,
folktales, and fairy tales - to deepen the literary experience so
that reading and writing become as much a part of kindergarten as
playing and pretending are. As the book progresses through the
year, teachers will find a wealth of resources, including practical
models to teach strategies and skills; effective teaching
schedules; ways to address, challenge, expand, and celebrate
student learning; examples of student work; parent education
materials; and ideas on how to manage assessment. By the end of the
year, your students - like those in Ranu's class - will have built
on their love of storytelling to establish a strong literacy
foundation.
