Emphasizing the need to develop higher-level thinking skills and
critical discussion with intermediate and middle school struggling
readers, Williams uses quality children's literature as a
springboard to help readers: understand and use descriptive
vocabulary and figurative language, make personal connections with
text, create and solve text related mathematical problems, promote
an active, engaged discussion and critical analysis of the story
and the important issues raised in text, extend meaning through
research and writing, art, and drama. To help teachers match
student to text, literature selections are categorized according to
interest (e.g., mystery, sports, humor, identity/solving problems),
genre, and include reading level, interest level, and number of
pages. Discussion questions and extension activities_specific to
over 100 children's literature selections_provide opportunities for
students to ask questions, discuss and use descriptive language,
make predictions and inferences, evaluate story elements, and
critically reflect on character perspectives and social issues
raised in the text. All questions are appropriate for individual
work, special education classrooms, general education and inclusion
classrooms, and help teachers facilitate literature discussion
groups, book club discussion and response writing, self-regulated
reading, guided reading, and whole class discussions.
