Book excerpt: Children learn to "read the writing on the walls" through print-awareness activities that involve them in creating visual displays to illustrate 12 favorite children's stories-classics like "The Three Little Pigs, "Goldilocks and the Three Bears," "Humpty Dumpty," and "Stone Soup." Six projects for each story focus on creating visual displays within a larger context of teachers modeling reading and writing, and then children imitating reading and writing behaviors. Reproducible patterns jumpstart the art projects. Grades preK-1. Illustrated. Good Year Books. 192 pages. Second Edition.
