When Literature and Literacy Intersect
Nancy J. Johnson, Western
Washington University and Cyndi Giorgis, University of Nevada Las Vegas
Children’s literature is an important presence in many literacy classrooms—but it can be so much more. In The Wonder of It All, you’ll enter classrooms where literature is a full-fledged partner in literacy instruction and see how creating a literature-rich school environment engages students and stimulates them to grow as readers, writers, speakers, and thinkers.
The Wonder of It All details how practicing elementary and middle-level teachers can invite children’s literature to become a partner in their teaching. Nancy Johnson and Cyndi Giorgis show you how to integrate children’s literature throughout the school day and to use it for a variety of purposes, including addressing curricular expectations. Their advice helps you incorporate literature into the daily rhythm of your classroom, making it a vital presence
