A Note for Parents and Teachers

The main concept behind the book Casey and Aon: A Cybersafety Chapter Book for Kids is to empower children, parents and teachers to have good judgement in the virtual world. This involves knowing what's going on, talking about it with others, and continually striving to keep pace with the social effects that changes on the internet bring to our way of life.

A Note for Parents and Teachers

The main concept behind the Myra books (www.myrabooks.com) is to encourage children to think about helping other people and take steps to solve social problems. This can be as smallscale as interpersonal relationships or as largescale as international social problems.

A major feature in each Myra book will be a specific country. There are plenty of interesting places in the world, and as part of fostering geographic, social, cultural and racial awareness, and social integration, every Myra Book will include teaching points about a particular country, place or cultural group.

Any mistakes or biases you notice are those of the author, who can be informed at books@amandagreenslade.com.

About These Activities

The following school activities and teaching notes have been formulated by the author in consultation with a number of primary school teachers from Queensland. Inspiration has been drawn from many sources, including the National Curriculum, however the activities are not certified or endorsed by any particular educational authorities. They are simply the author’s first effort and creative ideas for using the Myra books to teach in relevant areas of the Australian National Primary School Curriculum:

1. English
2. Mathematics
3. Science
4. Humanities and Social Sciences

Each section above is broken further into grade level, age and reading level, however these decisions are the authors and may not be accurate. Feedback is welcome, and improvements will be made to these teaching resources over time.

It is hoped that the resources are suitable for use by parents, primary school teachers, kindergarten teachers, librarians and for home-schooling. Although these can be used in a home-setting, the word ‘student’ will be used to indicate the child you are teaching.

Some of these activities will be easiest if each student has a copy of the book, or each group can have a copy of the book to refer to. Note that it is available as an ebook, so students can refer to it on their iPads. For wholesale and bulk pricing options please contact books@amandagreenslade.com.
