Through a balance of pedagogy and practice, teachers are given the skills and confidence they need to become better storytellers. The title includes dozens of great stories and classroom tested lesson plans to help students improve reading fluency, comprehension, and vocabulary. With better reading skills students' ability to learn content will improve. By telling their own stories students will also learn creative writing strategies. The preface and introduction explore current research while providing inspiration for teachers to learn and tell stories. Each chapter addresses one content area, Reading, Math, Science, etc. Included also is a series of interdisciplinary units. A unique feature is that all chapters include exciting, easy-to-learn stories, classroom tested, linked to national learning standards and reproducible pages for ready-to-use hand-outs. Grades K-6
