Abstract:
This book offers a fresh way of teaching children the importance of values and good character. Designed for grades K-5, it provides material to use in discussions regarding character traits teachers want to help young citizens develop. Each of seventeen chapters focuses on a specific trait or virtue and identifies dozens of picture books, novels, biographies, and nonfiction titles that illustrate the trait and can be used as springboards to discussions. Introduced with a description, each chapter features annotations, cross-references to other traits, famous quotes, discussion starters, activity suggestions, and collaborative reading titles. A resource and reference guide, this book is essential for coaching young citizens in positive behavior.
