Covering the Curriculum with Stories
Six cross-curricular projects that teach literacy and thinking through dramatic play
Synopsis
Covering the Curriculum with Stories is an exciting and unique resource, presenting a set of six delightful, cross-curricular play-based projects that deliver outstanding learning experiences.
Designed for children aged 3-7, these projects will make major contributions to your pupils' literacy and literary skills, teach a whole repertoire of thinking skills and deliver many features of the Foundation and KS1 Curricula in an integrated, cross-curricular way.

The book provides everything you need to know to teach the projects successfully, including:
clear overviews with precise learning intentions
simple, clear, step-by-step instructions
details of pupil activities
indications of cross-curricular links
