We read the Frog and Toad books in order to discuss words and meaning in the text. With a library that reflects what I am using in the classroom, my students can now take a book home and dazzle their parents with conversations and insights as to what we are doing with these stories in the classroom. "Listen to the wind howling in the trees," said Frog is a very strong jumping off point for a discussion of meaning, setting, and the tone of a story. We would illustrate and then discuss what those words mean and how they are setting us up for the remainder of the story. Imagine a child able to take that very book home, read it to mom and dad, and then explain why they like it so much and why it is such a fun book to read. What I enjoy seeing is the connection a student learning English makes when they are completely engaged in words and get to the meaning of text. It gives them power and ownership.
