This compendium of outstanding read-aloud choices for grades
pre-K-3 will enrich and extend content area instruction, helping
busy teachers to meet curriculum requirements within the confines
of their busy schedules. It's a familiar and unfortunate story:

less-less money, less staff, and less time. One easy way to provide
more content area instruction to very young readers is by
scaffolding beneficial learning subjects within memorable
read-aloud activities. This augments the instructional curriculum
and keeps learning fun-without adding to the educator's
already-full plate. Read-Aloud Scaffold: Best Books to Enhance
Content Area Curriculum, Grades Pre-K-3 offers teachers and
librarians over 700 content area connections through carefully
selected, recently published children's trade books. These
selections include fiction and non-fiction titles that represent
outstanding read-aloud choices that will augment the instructional
curriculum, covering subjects ranging from history to holidays to
special events, and from biographies and memoirs to poetry and
character education. "A Closer Look" suggests outstanding
read-aloud choices related to key units in the curriculum and
features discussion points, cross-curricular activities, writing
prompts, and related online and print materials. Detailed

An ideal way to teach information literacy and leadership skills to
1st to 4th graders—using chocolate chip cookies and glitter pens!
The Cayuga Island Kids are five big-hearted friends who solve
mysteries and have wonderful adventures together. They are fact
detectives who follow clues, find answers, and puzzle out
solutions. Above all, they are kind, helpful, smart, and
resourceful kids who have lots of fun together. In Book 1 the Kids
hunt for a certain kind of tree and instead unearth a cannonball.
As they hunt for clues and follow leads, the inquisitive and
adventurous fact detectives discover that the island they live on
is home to both history and mystery. In award-winning Book 2, the
Kids rescue a mallard and pull plastic bottles out of the creek.
How they bring the community together to build a recycling bin big
enough to hold plenty of plastic makes for a lively adventure.
Brainstorming, teamwork, and recycling lead to the realization that
although we are each just one person, together we can make a BIG
difference! In Book 3, Julian and his dad are trying to make
perfect chocolate chip cookies when glitter pens go missing at
school. Clues point to a suspect, but when they encounter
misinformation and disinformation, the importance of not jumping to
conclusions becomes clear.
It’s Fall now and the Cayuga Island Kids are busy with homework,
projects, and after school activities. But there’s still plenty
of time for mystery and adventure! In the third book in the Cayuga
Island Kids chapter book series, Julian is exploring food science
as he experiments with recipes on his quest for the perfect
chocolate chip cookie. Being a cookie sampler takes Mac’s mind
off his troubles with fractions. Yoko is practicing gestures and
facial expressions in anticipation of the school play tryouts. Maya
is Ms. Choi’s helper in the after-school Make-and-Take-Club for
younger crafters. Lacey is taking care of the little community
library that Gram built—and searching for the next mystery to
solve.When two of Ms. Choi’s glitter pens go missing, Maya turns
to Lacey for help. The clues and evidence point to a suspect, but
are they jumping to conclusions? When a classmate jumps to
conclusions and shares false information about Julian’s cookies,
the Cayuga Island Kids join forces to set the facts straight. When
the kids research explorers for a school project, they uncover
misinformation that blurs the truth, and makes the reasons for
being a fact detective crystal clear.As the fall leaves turn color,
the Cayuga Island Kids come to realize that sorting through clues
and evidence—just like research—means making sure information
is factual, and not just a fraction of the truth. Young readers
will cheer for the Cayuga Island Kids as they embark on this latest
adventure involving faulty assumptions, missing facts, flour bugs,
and chocolate chip cookies.
