Preschool Story Stretchers

“READ IT AGAIN!” Is the plea when a child and story connect. Story Stretchers are a

means to extend that enthusiasm and better connect children’s books and teaching ideas

with other areas of the curriculum. Included in each binder are two story books with

activities for art, blocks, dramatic play, music & movement, cooking, the library &

writing corner, sand & water play, science, math, and manipulative. Each book is S-T-R-E-T-C-H-E-D into the areas which best fit that book. Contents may vary from pictures.
