Recommended Resources for Insects


Trade Book List
The Transition Supplemental Guide includes a number of
opportunities in Extensions, the Pausing Point, and the
Culminating Activities for teachers to select trade books from
the list below to reinforce domain concepts through the use of
authentic literature. In addition, teachers should consider other
times throughout the day when they might infuse authentic
domain-related literature.
If you recommend that families read aloud with their child each
night, you may wish to suggest that they choose titles from this
trade book list to reinforce the domain concepts. You might also
consider creating a classroom lending library, allowing students to
borrow domain-related books to read at home with their families.
