Stories are a great way to acquaint young learners with geographic locations. A plethora of choices are available in the folktale genre, so librarians and teachers will have little difficulty locating a variety. Folktales provide an accessible and child friendly approach for engaging students. In addition, when connections are made between stories, facts, and other meaningful classroom activities, retention is greater. Add a map and some support from nonfiction trade books, the Internet, and even the encyclopedia, and young students will be able to dazzle adults with their geography knowledge. In this article, the author describes how teachers can integrate language arts with social studies while providing a conduit to foreign languages, technology, the arts, and even mathematics. She also offers some suggested folktales to get teachers started.
