Explore one of the most important challenges of childhood: learning
to read. In this groundbreaking new work, Joyce Bainbridge and
Sylvia Pantaleo offer sensible, successful strategies to help
children become lifelong readers. At root, their philosophy is
simple: offer students a wide selection of high-quality,
high-interest books, and kids will want to read! While the volume
concentrates on the many fine books published in Canada each year,
it surveys outstanding books from around the world. Learning with
Literature in the Canadian Elementary Classroom is designed to help
new and experienced teachers alike to use literature in the
elementary classroom. Children's literature is presented as a rich,
vital component of a balanced language arts program, and the needs
of Canadian students are considered within an international reading
context. Based on a reader-response orientation to the study of
children's literature, the book presents a theoretically sound
framework for its recommendations. It offers classroom-tested ideas
that teachers can start using immediately, supported by
descriptions of hundreds of exciting, engaging, accessible trade
books for elementary readers. Learning with Literature in the
Canadian Elementary Classroom features real-life classroom
situations, sidebars on 20 Canadian authors and illustrators,
reflection exercises, annotated professional references, an
extensive bibliography of children's literature and
chapter-relevant book lists, appendices, and an index. For
pre-service or in-service teachers, librarians, reading
specialists, and anyone else who works with children and books,
this volume will prove a valuable resource. Joyce Bainbridge is a
Professor in the Faculty of Education at the University of Alberta.
Sylvia Pantaleo is an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of
Education at Queen's University.
