About this title

Synopsis

This innovative book links quality children's books to an effective reading and language arts program. It hinges on the philosophy that teachers who have a passion for literature influence their students to become passionate about reading. An effective combination of current information on children's book titles, interviews with influential authors, and language arts strategies, create a blueprint for establishing a meaningful children's literature methods guidebook for contemporary classrooms. An original cover illustrated by Caldecott-winning David Wisniewski and interior artwork by children's author Steven Kellogg distinguishes this book's design. A three-part organization covers topics under the headings of: engaging readers in good books, the good books themselves, and using good books in the classroom. For elementary school teachers of reading and language arts.
