A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Renowned authors Charles Temple, Miriam Martinez, and Junko Yokota give teachers a myriad of practical ideas and strategies for sharing literature with children―and helping them enjoy the experience. The authors show how effective teaching with children’s literature involves three roles: the critic who brings an understanding of how literature works and how children respond to literature into the classroom, the resourceful teacher who knows a wide range of good books to bring to children, and the literacy activist who guides children into books and helps them enjoy the experience. The authors do this through a variety of practical applications and unique pedagogical features, like “Teaching Ideas,” “Top Shelf” book lists, “Technology in Practice” teaching tips, “Experiences for Further Learning” activities, and wonderful, extensive “Recommended Books” sections that emphasize cultural diversity.

 

Here’s what makes this new fourth edition unique:

• Dozens of new titles and authors listed in each chapter make this edition a “turn-to” reference for teachers.
• A new chapter on international books (Ch. 5) reinforces and strengthens the authors’ continuing focus on cultural diversity.
• A special four-color insert helps readers appreciate the visual elements of picture books.
• This new edition is available in paperback, making it economical for students to use―and leaving more funds with which to buy more children’s books.
• MyEducationKit margin notes and end-of-chapter features lead readers to the robust online resource with video clips, assignments, and opportunities to hone teaching skills.

Quatrième de couverture

From the Authors:
In this book, we seek to explain the vital importance of sharing ideas with the young through children’s literature and nurturing a richer appreciation of the books themselves. We had several goals in writing this book:

• To help the adult reader recognize the many ways children benefit from literature at different times in their lives and to appreciate what happens when a child is engaged by a book
• To acquaint the adult reader with the wealth of children’s books that are available today and to enable that reader to make critical judgments about them
• To equip the reader with a range of proven strategies to bring children together with books productively and pleasurably

This highly lauded text, with a “reader-response” approach and extensive inclusion of culturally diverse literature, has been updated to include coverage of such important topics as technology in the classroom, visual literacy, and the influence of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2000 on reading instruction in the public schools.

The third edition is packed with new and revised practical applications, and features complete revisions of three key chapters (Multicultural and International Literature, Picture Books, and Literary Meaning-Making and Children’s Response to Literature.) The authors have also expanded coverage of important and timely topics: the re-emergence of graphic novels (aka comic books); the influence of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2000 on reading instruction in the public schools; censorship; visual depictions in traditional literature; historical evolution of realistic fiction; and magical realism.
