Teaching Economics Through Children's Literature in the Primary Grades
In this approach, teachers simultaneously teach reading strategies and empower their students to understand economics.
In this strategy guide, you'll learn to model how students can make three different kinds of connections (text-to-text, text-to-self, text-to-world). Students then use this knowledge to find their own personal connections to a text.
