Teacher Resources

A note on the text structure: some of the words are capitalized in Winnie-the-Pooh, which is to put stress on them or make them sound like a noun. For instance, in “Chapter 1”, page eight in the book, “He sang a Complaining Song…” These instances are repeated throughout the book. For more historical information about the books as well as text structure, the following site might be helpful: Children’s Literature Classics http://childliterature.net/childlit/toy/winnie.html

Teachers would require a copy of the text for themselves: Winnie-the-Pooh, by A.A. Milne.

Depending upon the interest level, the teacher can choose to read aloud the biographical picture book, Winnie: The True Story of a Bear Who Inspired Winnie-the-Pooh, by Sally M. Walker.

Hello! Thank you for making this available online. It is great information that I can share with parents to teach empathy and social skills to children on the spectrum (Autism). It supports the use of the Alert Program for self-regulation. Karina Salenger, OTR/L
