Using Children's Books in Social Studies
註釋Arranged in three parts, this booklet provides teachers at the early childhood and primary grade levels with guidelines for using children's literature in social studies instruction. Chapter 1 discusses rationale and procedure. Separate subsections emphasize the significant role reading books can play in developing a child's self-concept, examining similarities and differences among children and among cultures, examining peer group and family interactions, considering careers, dealing with change, and establishing a framework for history study. The relationship between children's literature and social studies skills development is treated in chapter 2. Examples of ways in which reading books lend themselves to map skill development and skits are provided. The bulk of this booklet is a sample bibliography, contained in chapter 3. Over 350 children's books, compiled on the basis of students', teachers', and social studies' needs, are listed on the following topics: careers, changes, feelings, geography, history and biography, interdependence, relationships, rules, similarities and differences, and world cultures. Lists of useful references and publishers conclude the booklet. (LP)
