From the “Introduction”
There is a growing recognition from educators and other opinion leaders that to be effective citizens, students must have a basic understanding of the economic world around them. Many excellent curriculum marterials have been developed recently to help accomplish this important task. This new elementary curriculum booklet, Teaching Economics Using Children’s Literature, is another addition to the growing collection of materials. The booklet contains practical, class-room tested, lessons to use with popular children’s stories. The economic concepts used in this curriculum are identified in Indiana’s Academic Standards -- Social Studies and the Voluntary National Council Standards developed by the National Council of Economic Education.
