In its seventh edition, "Through the Eyes of a Child: An Introduction to Children's Literature" continues to be a visually stunning, theoretically sound, comprehensive overview of children's literature. It focuses squarely on selecting and evaluating quality literature to share with children and guiding them to appreciate and respond to that literature. This edition features multicultural literature and young adult literature in every chapter, expanded coverage of biographies and informational books and over 100 new children's titles referenced throughout. A children's literature CD-ROM accompanies the book and contains bibliographic information for thousands of titles, making it even easier to share quality literature with children and adolescents.
Includes entries for maps and atlases.
Originally published in 1986. This is an excellent resourcebook for the holistic teaching of language and the arts. The book works its way through theories of language acquisition and literacy before specifically discussing the role of the arts in literacy education and the integration approach. Each chapter has an extensive annotated bibliography detailing the resources available. The final listing includes both resources for teachers but also the children. Bridging the gap between theory and practice, this sociopsycholinguistic account will be of great use to anyone seeking a better understanding of teaching and learning reading and writing.
This text provides classroom teachers with information on developing a systematic procedure for assessing reading skill performance and offers prescriptive instruction. The first chapter addresses reading as a language process and establishes the basic conceptual framework. The remainder of the text is organized around five steps that should be followed to provide effective reading instruction. New to this edition: --The latest research on teacher instruction for technologically advanced students. --More emphasis on student assessment versus clinical diagnoses. --The importance of assessing and guiding reading through language literacy development is stressed.
