More effectively meet the diverse literacy needs of the growing
Latino population by learning how to evaluate and select quality
Latino children's literature. Latinos are the fastest growing and
largest ethnic minority in the United States. The number of Latino
children is at a historic high. As a result, librarians and
teachers in the United States must know how to meet the
informational, cultural, and traditional literacy needs of this
student demographic group. An ideal way to overcome this challenge
is by providing culturally accurate and authentic children's
literature that represents the diversity of the Latino cultures.
Much more than simply a topical bibliography, this book details
both historical and current practices in educating Latino children;
explains why having quality Latino children's literature in
classrooms and libraries is necessary for the ethnic identity
development of Latino children; and offers a historical overview of
Latino children's literature in America. Web resources of interest
to educators working with Latino children are also included.
Figures relating to Latino population growth, home language of
Latinos, and stressors of recently arrived Latinos Extensive
bibliography of print and web resources for developing collections
of quality materials about Latino cultures, professional
publications related relating to evaluating Latino children's
literature and integrating the literature into classrooms and
libraries, and recommended English, Spanish, and bilingual
children's and young adult books about Latinos Contains useful
resources such as reproducible bookmarks of recommended Latino
children's books, evaluation sheets for analyzing Latino children's
books for stereotypes, and a bingo sheet for professional
development related to library services for Latinos and Latino
children
