Integrating Children''s Literature in the Classroom: Insights for the Primary and Early Years Educator

English

By (author): David Waugh Rosemary Waugh

Teachers can have a profound influence on childrens reading behaviour and attitudes to literature. Whether its to broaden childrens knowledge and understanding, or encourage reading for pleasure, reading in the classroom is becoming an increasing priority.

This book looks at a wide range of childrens literature from picture books to classics to poetry. A diverse array of books is recommended for teachers to use in a broad variety of contexts to enhance learning across the curriculum, featuring beloved authors such as Michael Morpurgo, Tove Jansson and Kenneth Grahame, as well as introducing some who may be new to teachers.

This book:

Recognises the key role of childrens literature within the curriculum and learning development 
Explores examples through case studies of classroom practice and highlights childrens literatures role in Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education
Celebrates the range of voices and contexts that literature can represent in the classroom
Includes a For your bookshelf section in each chapter which summarises key titles
Dedicates a chapter to the importance of creating childrens literature with and for children

The authors place emphasis on creating a literate environment in which childrens literature is a central feature. This is a must-read for teachers at all levels, as well as anyone who volunteers in schools to support readers. 

Read on to enrich your practice right across the curriculum and find diverse books to engage and inspire children. Enjoy!

How do we make sure children today recognise the value of reading for pleasure when so many other mediums are competing for their attention? The answer lies within this excellent text.
