This easy-to-use handbook will help teachers whose classrooms
include students whose first language is not English. The focus is
on books written for children or teens, which can serve as a
valuable teaching tool for language attractive illustrations,
simple plots, and easy vocabulary deal with familiar situations so
that language is acquired easily and the students maintain a high
degree of interest. Even picture books, traditionally designed for
the very young, now appear with intelligent wit and sophisticated
themes that make this literature both accessible for new learners
of English and suitable for older students. The more advanced books
for intermediate readers have exciting, uncomplicated plots that
will motivate teens to develop reading fluency while providing
vocabulary and subject matter for participation in class
discussions. Book Bridges is a complete teaching resource, replete
with activities, suggested materials for classroom use, and lesson
plans. In addition, it will serve as a useful reader's advisory
tool for public libraries serving teens learning English."
