Abstract
Children's literature doesn't just happen, To make the best use of instructional time and assure the quality of children's literary experiences, this author feels, a planned program is necessary. This curriculum was developed to be used with second grade students in the regular classroom. It provides a specific set of goals and objectives , as well as questions, activities, a bibliography of children's books and methods of evaluation.
The guided literature experiences provided by this curriculum will stimulate the imagination, enhance productive and critical thinking skills, improve comprehension and increase the child's understanding and use of vocabulary. By increasing these competencies an increased interest in literature and a love of the reading experience will hopefully be developed into a lifelong reading habit .
