rosemaryhoyle Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Hi everyone, Our topic next term is People Who help Us. We have got lots of non-fiction books and intend to arrange visits from various people but I am stuck when it comes to thinking about which texts to use for Literacy. The Jolly Postman springs to mind but I'm struggling to think of any others. Can anyone help? Thanks Rosie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelle Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Miss Polly had a Dolly? I 'googled' and found the text with audio etc. Also, last months scholastic had a fantastic resource which you can use on your whiteboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Sounds good, cant think of any off the top of my head, but there are always loads of books in WHS when your looking for a topic. I keep thinking I will keep book list from topics I have done, but I never get round to it... maybe we should start one on here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 HI, books I have used in the past, ' What would we do without Missus Mac,' non fiction books about firefighters, doctor etc. I always type in a search on amazon for good book ideas, good luck!

Posy Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Topsy and Tim meet the firefighters/doctor/dentist/police/start school/have their eyes tested/buynew shoes/go to the supermarket I love T&t although I know lots of people don't You can get them dead cheap on Amazon in the slightly bigger format they used about 5/6 years ago Some might argue that they are to literacy what sticky sweets are to dental hygiene! Other ideas: Fireman Small books (again from Amazon and American but mine loved them -written in rhyme) Flashing Fire engines There's alovely book about people who work at night shows police, hospital (birth of new baby) post office etc but I can't remember name -someone will I'll bet. Cops and Robbers Hope this helps and I haven't lost all cred admitting I like the terrible twins Barb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelle Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 It was scholastic magazines free download. I have emailed you the link because they asked for you to do it that way rather than paste it. I used it on my whiteboard with the class really successfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
