- December 29, 2016

“Built on a solid theoretical and research foundation of how children learn, this book is full of practical, easy to apply strategies to make stories come alive for children. McWilliams clearly describes what to do before, during, and after sharing a book with children to help them discover the joy of stories. The methods described in this book are sure to develop a culture of story lovers within your classroom. McWilliams takes stories beyond literacy, suggesting ways to support children’s growth in all developmental domains. The many detailed plans included in the book provide concrete and useful ways to address concepts such as number sense, social-emotional understanding, and STEM. Practical considerations for assessment strategies are also included, making this book a comprehensive and thorough resource for new and seasoned teachers alike!”
