Students today really struggle with reading. While technology has improved our lives in many ways, it has also increased reader struggles. For many students, print words are simply not able to capture their attention with their brains being hardwired for the noise and flash of TV and video games. For this reason, librarians and educators have to try to make books as interesting as possible.
These felt board stories will greatly enhance the fun of my lessons, especially in lower grades. They are very versatile and can be used as manipulatives by the students as well as being great visual aids.
I will use the felt storyboard to display each of the individual stories during story time. The fairy tale felt puppet stories will be used through my 8 week fairy tale unit with kindergarten and 1st grade, as well as in shorter units in 2nd and 3rd grade. The Lakeshore storytelling kits each contain 6 sets of felt characters that correspond with popular children's books. These 12 stories will be dispersed through our the year in other various units.
