(More customer reviews)Peak with Books provides wonderful guidance for introducing young children to literature. We have especially enjoyed the inclusion of songs, poems, and art. The book selections include timeless classics and new favorites. The step-by-step instructions are a great help to the new teacher or homeschooler. Highly recommended by Ruth Beechick and others, this well-rounded program is a great place to start with your preschool and kindergarten aged children!

Peak With Books shows how to use popular children's literature to build reading, writing, and cognitive skills in an inquiry-based environment.Instead of using a "skill and drill" approach, the authors employ conversations, questions, and, meaning-based activities to stimulate children's curiosity, confidence, and thirst for knowledge.The authors' balanced literacy program teaches strong reading, writing, and critical thinking skills.To develop those skills, each chapter's central storybook is accompanied by strategies that employ art, music, drama, finger rhymes, poetry, math and science activities.Graphics and children's presentations illustrate how research and discovery through fiction can enliven whole-class and individually directed projects.
