Language is truly an art, penetrating human life and thought as the basic element of communication and expression. Thus, in order to teach language skills across the curriculum, educators must fully understand the complexities and intricacies of this art form. This book provides educators with the tools for understanding and teaching the art of language while accounting for the cultural and linguistic diversity of todayÕs children. This book emphasizes a student- and response-centered approach to literature-based teaching in todayÕs diverse classrooms. In addition to comprehensive explanation, the author discusses these principles through illuminating examples of real teachers in real classrooms involved in the actual implementation of these ideas. Also included in every chapter are ÒAssessment ToolÓ features to provide assessment strategies for field experiences and ÒRipple EffectÓ graphic organizers to illustrate how response-centered learning reaches across the curriculum. Classroom teachers and administrators.
