The Joy of Children's Literature

This book provides in-depth coverage of children's literature with integrated reading methods in a concise, accessible format. Johnson emphasizes that reading, writing, discussing, and finding pleasure in children's books are essential tools in being able to recognize and recommend literature, and to being able to share the joy of children's literature with children themselves. This fully updated third edition includes up-to-date research, new book titles within each chapter, a greater focus on diversity and inclusion, and new sections on Activities for Professional Development and Print and Online Resources.

Such a simple desire—that of becoming parents. Yet, it evaded Ron and Denise as years of infertility plagued them. Finally, an opportunity to adopt the baby of a college roommate looked to be the answer to their prayers. Then they learned that they were finally pregnant. Life would at last be all they had planned. However, tragedy struck leaving them with unfulfilled dreams and inexplicable grief. Could this truly be God’s will for their lives? Would they ever be parents as they so desired? As they struggled to find a way to move on, they began a journey that brought them to the brink of their faith and to the feet of God as He healed their lives and fulfilled their dreams. An inspirational true-life story of grief, healing, hope and God’s amazing plan that will inspire you to see the gift of children from a new perspective.

The Joy of Children's Literature provides in-depth coverage of children's literature with integrated reading methods in a concise, accessible format. The compact length allows for more time during the course to read the numerous children's books highlighted in the text. Johnson emphasizes that reading, writing, discussing, and finding pleasure in children's books are essential to the ability to recognize and recommend literature, and ultimately, to the ability to share the joy of children's literature with children themselves. The text is divided into three main parts. Part I introduces foundational concepts necessary to the study of children's literature, including child development and the history and scope of children's literature. Part II, the primary focus of the text, analyzes a different literary genre in each chapter, providing a history of the genre, a consideration of its role in modern children's literature, key books in the genre, and discussion topics to encourage involvement with the material. Part III considers the usage of children's literature in the classroom, with practical advice for teaching. Many features in this text specifically incorporate the Cengage Learning Education Mission Statement: to provide quality content to student teachers and help them bridge the gap from preservice to practice, fostering lifelong career success. Among these features are A Closer Look, special reference charts for teachers, Activities for Professional Development, Creating Your Classroom Library, and the two chapters on teaching which close the book.

In today’s high-stakes testing environment, integrating technology into the curriculum is often seen as something “extra” or suitable for use with only a few special projects. With the growth in Internet use by even the youngest children, educators urgently need a practical introduction to online literacy and reading comprehension. Reading, Writing, and Literacy 2.0offers that and more by providing tools and teaching strategies for incorporating online reading and writing into classroom learning, as well as a host of web resources that teachers can draw on to make this happen―all this without endless hours of searching! Denise Johnson’s book connects to the Common Core State Standards and is organized around the Technological Literacy Assessment of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), which focuses on three areas that characterize a technologically literate person: knowledge, capabilities, and critical thinking and decisionmaking. Reading, Writing, and Literacy 2.0 provides everything reading teachers need to begin using technology to deepen and enrich literacy learning for all students. In addition, the author maintains a companion blog to update and add helpful teaching links. Book Features: <ul>
<li> An explanation of the concept and practices of literacy 2.0 and how it differs from literacy 1.0.</li> <li> Specific examples and resource links for using technology with diverse learners in the K–8 classroom, including translation sites and multilingual materials. </li> <li> Examples of teacher-to-student and student-to-student wiki and blog interactions. </li> <li> A companion blog for ongoing support, including links to resources, new teaching tools, classroom examples, and more at literacytwopointzero.blogspot.com.</li>
