Using Fictional Stories as a Pathway to Science Content
On a quick getaway before the 2019-2020 school year starts, I visited the McCall, Idaho Public Library. This mountain gem has a inviting selection of children’s books!
When visiting a library, I first love to see which books are highlighted. But highlighted, I mean, get their book covered displayed in some way. Their setup provided multiple areas for books to be displayed at various eye-levels. ❤️ Here are some of the highlighted books (note how many are science titles):
Note: “The DATA” series a novel series that was featured on the “Local Favorites” shelf.
And…
Noticing a theme? 😀
Yes, the library was following the Summer Reading List and theme from ALSC (Association for Library Service to Children, www.ala.org/alsc).

Happy Exploring! 😀
