Books For Teachers is a collection of books and resources created by a group of Australian Independent Publishers, many of whom are teachers, as well as authors.
I’m very excited to be a part of this wonderful initiative. You will find Jana’s Brightly Coloured Socks included in the catalogue.
The aim is…
… to make teachers, librarians and parents more aware of the exciting resources that exist outside the realm of the big-name publishers.
… to celebrate the amazing inventiveness and professionalism of the many micro publishers that are flourishing in Australia.
Each book in this catalogue has a detailed Teachers’ Guide or Book Guide with discussion questions to ask before, during and after reading as well as a pack of useful pdf resources to extend the learning opportunities associated with the book.
By purchasing resources from this catalogue you will be supporting local, Australian authors who are keen to bring relevant, vibrant books into schools.
I’ve put together a book guide and an activity guide specifically for teachers in an easy to download (and print) PDF format. You can order a hardback copy of Jana’s Brightly Coloured Socks along with the bundle of teacher resources all for $39.95 with FREE shipping.
Book Guide
This 7 page book guide comprises:
- a section on pre-reading discussion with a list of questions to build up some curiosity and excitement.
- a series of questions that can trigger imagination, thoughts and learning for each of the pages while reading the book.
- a post-reading section that summarises the values and lessons learned from the story and the book generally.
These are all age appropriate for the 3-6 age range. What’s more! There a digital and print-friendly version. You get both versions when you place an order.
Activity Pack
As well as the book guide, I’ve put together a 20-page activity pack to keep students engaged. In line with the curriculum, the packs contains activities that will allow children to express and describe emotions they experience (curriculum link AC9HPFP03) and to practise personal and social skills to interact respectfully with others (curriculum link AC9HPFP02).
