Book

Beyond the flannel board : story-retelling strategies across the curriculum / M. Susan McWilliams.

Summary:

"Improve young children's language, social-emotional, and number sense development with effective developmentally appropriate teaching strategies in story retelling. This book demystifies the story retelling experience for teachers of young children by identifying effective, intentional teaching and learning practices and providing a variety of examples for integrating story retelling activities across the curriculum for building skills in social-emotional development, numbers, STEM, and more. M. Susan McWilliams holds a PhD in educational leadership and innovation and an MA in curriculum and instruction in early childhood education. She is an associate professor of early childhood teacher education at the University of Nebraska"-- Provided by publisher.

"When children are taught specific skills to be able to listen to a story and retell the sequence of events, there are positive impacts on reading comprehension, vocabulary and oral language development. Early childhood educators often hold misconceptions, many of which are quite embedded in their practice, about story retelling. This book demystifies for teachers the story retelling experience by taking it apart and then building it back up again through a developmental lens"-- Provided by publisher.
