Trade Book List
The Supplemental Guide includes a number of opportunities in
Extensions, the Pausing Point, and in the Culminating Activities for
teachers to select trade books from this list 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.- A. Lincoln and Me, by Louise Borden and illustrated by Ted Lewin
