Storytelling Guidance

Personalized books create lasting memories. This program includes five reproducible storybooks that allows young readers to express their thoughts and feelings and also to show they comprehend what the author is intending. The included stories are:

The Angry Vegetables (Handling Anger) The vegetables lose control when a game gets out of hand. Fortunately, one of them shows the others a safe way to vent their hostility.

Swimming With The Fish (Friendship And Character Education) Not all the fish in the ocean are ones the other fish would like to swim with. As the different personalities are explained, good choices can be made as to the traits that make for a good friend.

Toni The Bully (Handling Bullies) What's a dog to do when a really, really mean bigger dog threatens it? Penny The Poodle comes to the rescue when she shows the others a new way of handling bullies.

Miss Wingate's Ears Are Growing (Tattling) Poor Miss Wingate. She has a class of tattlers. The tattling is so bad that her hurting ears grow bigger and bigger. Stunned by what is happening to their teacher, the students decide to listen and follow the rules for reporting.

Storytelling Guidance II

Your overwhelming response to Storytelling Guidance prompted the author to write and Marco to publish Storytelling Guidance II.

As in the first book, there are five reproducible short stories that give young children not only the opportunity to read or hear about important life-skills, but also the opportunity to personalize each page with answers to comprehension questions and coloring. This format allows the presenter to involve young children as the story is being read, rather than waiting until the end of the story. Leaders know immediately if the concepts are learned and children have fun doing the activity presented. When completed, each child may take his/her completed book home to share with family members.

The valuable life-skill lessons are:

Quinton’s Bad Words (Using bad language makes a boy unpopular with other children.)

The Rainbow (Emphasizes the value of cooperation.)

Terry’s Old Clothes (Illustrates the importance of not judging people by outward appearances.)

Kind Kurt (Rude Rudy learns that kindness pays when trying to make friends.)

Using Kind Words (Emphasizes the importance of saying nice things to others.)

These exciting reproducible stories provide educators with lessons in reading, language arts, vocabulary development, and affective education. Also included are supplementary activities which can be used with each lesson.

Includes ASCA standards met for each story.
