Thematic Units Linking Read-Alouds and Computer Activities

Linda D. Labbo, Mary Susan Love, Miri Park Prior, Betty P. Hubbard, and Tammy Ryan

Create literacy-rich learning environments by linking children’s literature with practical, timely, motivating, and developmentally appropriate computer activities.

This book gives you ideas for providing primary-grade students with literacy learning opportunities that integrate conventional literacies, such as phonics and comprehension, with new literacies, such as multimedia composition and hyperlink navigation. You’ll find a variety of linked activities, including reading children’s books, creating multimedia documents, writing with word-processing programs, and engaging in online communication.
