I am experiencing some difficulty teaching text to world connections to my
Title I groups. I have used The Lotus Seed by Sherry Garland and a local
newspaper. I need some help as to what texts to use next.
Thank you,

Hello,
I am going to be working on schema with my first graders, and I was
wondering if anyone is willing to share books they use with the little ones
for text to world connections?
Thanks for your help,
Stacy

I teach 3rd grade, so a great author for that age group is Eve Bunting.
I
also use articles from Scholastic News and Time
`I had the best luck with this when I did things backwards--what is going on
in the world and how can I find picture books that will help kids connect to
it? Books about war, about parents who are away 9as our parenting soldiers
must be), books about the election process--those would be books I
YOu also might want to keep in mind that a first grader's world can be
as small as your classroom. I have done things that relate to
different science units and other great activities being done in your
classroom and at your school/district.
