Judy Freeman has developed a comprehensive handbook with thoroughly
annotated lists of the 2006's best children's books, lesson plans,
teacher's guides, stories, songs, and Internet resources. The
Winners! Handbook starts with an extensive booklist of Judy's 100
best books of 2006, including many of the big award winners. (If
you own Judy's Books Kids Will Sit Still For 3, it follows the same
format. Indeed, you can consider the new Winners! Handbook the
first update to that book.) Each entry includes a meaty and
thoughtful annotation, a germ (a series of practical, do-able,
useful, pithy ideas for reading, writing, and illustrating prompts
and other activities across the curriculum); a useful list of
exemplary related titles; and subject designations for each title
to ascertain where the book might fit thematically into your
curricular plan or program. There's also a title, author, and
subject index for easy access. You find scores of useful and fun
ideas, activities, lessons, and ways you can incorporate literature
into every aspect of your day and your life. From story hour to
school curriculum tie-ins, the many connections include strategies
for comprehension, critical thinking skills, research, and
problem-solving; songs, games, crafts, songs, plenty of great
across-the-curriculum poetry, creative drama and Reader's Theater,
storytelling, booktalking, and book discussion. Most of the books
included are fabulous read-alouds, read-alones, and natural choices
for Guided Reading, Literature Circles, or Book Clubs.
