Whole Child Approach

Curriculum Approach Learning through Literature

Learning through Reading in the Preschool Class

An interesting and great method to use with children in preschool children is to approach reading through whole class presentation of the story, vocabulary and characters.  The idea behind such a method is learning by becoming involved with the story line and participating with the story telling with a focus on comprehension.

The following video is a demonstration of a class that uses such a method.  This video is of Oxford Reading Tree.
