@Ehieb2@NCRCisLIT I love books like The Little Zold Lady Who Wasn’t Afraid of Anything. The manipulatives keep the the kiddos involved during the whole story.
@NCRCisLIT A2 I choose books that relate to the theme we are on. I also look at the the type of book, my students need simple text, bright illustrations, and the book should include the vocabulary/concepts we are targeting with our theme.
@NCRCisLIT A1. We try to give the students supports, like pictures, real examples with real objects/things, etc. this helps take away a little bit of the “fear of the unknown” aspect. Doesn’t eliminate the fear factor, but definitely lessens it for some students.
