Big Blocks Big Blocks is a multilevel, multimethod language arts framework. Multilevel instruction focuses on the multiple learning levels and needs of all students in the class in a single lesson. A multilevel activity is an activity that is so rich, students at different levels have something to learn through the same activity. Unlike single-level activities, multilevel activities are not frustrating for the struggling reader and writer or boring for those who are more advanced. When teachers provide daily, multilevel learning opportunities, more students achieve the “mastery” desired over time. Big Blocks is multilevel because instruction in each block is differentiated to meet the needs of all learners. Big Blocks is not a program that dictates what is to be taught in a specified sequence or manner. The Big-Blocks™ framework differs from Four Blocks in its implementation based on the time devoted to each block and the frequency of each block.

Guide to Picture Books What are Picture Books? The phrase "picture book" is commonly used to describe a book, most often written for children,in which the content, whether a story, an alphabet, or a nursery rhyme, to name just a few possibilities, is conveyed through the use of words and pictures in combination or through pictures alone. A picture book differs from an illustrated book in that the pictures it contains form an essential part of the structure of the book. Illustrations are supplements to a work that can stand on its own. Due to physical factors in the bookbinding process, picture books are conventionally 32 pages long. Picture books, thus defined, are a relatively new form of book, originating in the early twentieth century. Types of Picture Books Board BooksBoard books are meant for the youngest readers. Concept BooksConcept books introduce children to a theme such as the alphabet, counting, colors or shapes. Easy ReadersEasy Reader books are also known as Beginning Readers or Early Readers. A.

Picture Book Month — International Literacy Initiative Celebrating the Print Picture Book in November children's literature The discovery of the child A self-aware literature flows from a recognition of its proper subject matter. The proper subject matter of children’s literature, apart from informational or didactic works, is children. More broadly, it embraces the whole content of the child’s imaginative world and that of his daily environment, as well as certain ideas and sentiments characteristic of it. And so, almost to the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, children’s literature remained recessive. In preliterate societies he was and is viewed in the light of his social, economic, and religious relationship to the tribe or clan. Throughout the Middle Ages and far into the late Renaissance the child remained, as it were, terra incognita. It is generally felt that, both as a person worthy of special regard and as an idea worthy of serious contemplation, the child began to come into his own in the second half of the 18th century.
