Welcome to the Literature Connection area for KidsEcon Posters© where you can access specific lessons based on popular children's books that will help you teach the poster concepts to your students.
The heart of each lesson is a set of guided questions about economic concepts found in the book. As you will notice, some books can be used to teach several different concepts.
We firmly believe that using children's literature to help you teach economics not only is good pedagogy, but also enables you to be efficient in using your scarce instructional time.
Many of the lessons were created by teachers Betty Sue Johnson, Elizabeth Hinkebein, and Lynn Nix. Teachers Kathy Heyse and Lee Choo Lim and ICEE Executive Director, Harlan Day, were also significant contributors.
