Children Exploring Their World is the first book on theme teaching to provide a comprehensive review of the existing literature on themes. Its extensive treatment of theme teaching will bring teachers' knowledge of this approach up to date and allow them to visualize how to integrate theme teaching into their own classrooms. Richly illustrated with diagrams, photos, and drawings, this book is invaluable for any K-6 classroom teacher interested in integrating themes into the classroom. The book will also be useful for reading and learning disability specialists who want to create themes; curriculum supervisors and developers who are exploring or managing theme-based instruction; and college professors teaching undergraduate or graduate courses in language arts. A comprehensive bibliography of theme-related books is included.
