Accessible and engaging, this textbook provides a roadmap for disrupting reading in the classroom and provides clear demonstrations of how to do it. The idea of disrupting reading evolves from critical pedagogy; it requires readers to disrupt their existing beliefs and consider other perspectives. Addressing socio-political issues, privilege, and social justice topics, this book presents a clear theoretical framework, methods, and easy applications for practice. Offering pedagogical features, classroom examples, teacher vignettes, and connections to literature, this textbook is ideal for preservice teachers in elementary and middle school education, literacy and English Language Arts.

Teaching Children's Literature

"Now in its third edition, this indispensable text offers a critical perspective on how to integrate childrens literature into the curriculum in effective, purposeful ways. Structured around three "mantras" that build on each other-Enjoy; Dig deeply; Take action-the book is rich with real examples of teachers implementing critical pedagogy and tools to support students development as enthusiastic readers and thinkers. The materials and practical strategies focus on issues that impact childrens lives, building from students personal experiences and cultural knowledge by using language to question the everyday world, analyze popular culture and media, understand how power relationships are socially constructed, and consider actions that can be taken to promote social justice. Each chapter features classroom vignettes showcasing the use of literature and inviting conversation; three key principles elaborating the main theme of the chapter and connecting theory with practice; and related research on the topics and their importance for curriculum. Thoroughly revised, the third edition includes new recommendations for teaching with a critical edge and exploring alternative approaches to standardized assessment. With more attention to culturally and linguistically diverse learners and addressing new topics such as censorship and controversial texts, the new edition is essential for courses on teaching childrens literature, ELA methods, and for every preservice elementary and middle school English teacher. A companion website to enrich and extend the text includes an annotated bibliography of literature selections, suggested text sets, resources by chapter, ideas for professional development, and recommendations for further reading"--

Teaching Children's Literature: It's Critical!

Inviting multiple ways of critically engaging with literature, this text offers a fresh perspective on how to integrate children’s literature into and across the curriculum in effective, purposeful ways. Structured around three "mantras" that build on each other―Enjoy; Dig deeply; Take action―the book is rich with real examples of teachers implementing critical pedagogy. The materials and practical strategies focus on issues that impact children’s lives, building from students’ personal experiences and cultural knowledge to using language to question the everyday world, analyze popular culture and media, understand how power relationships are socially constructed, and consider actions that can be taken to promote social justice. Written for teachers and teacher educators, each chapter opens with three elements that are closely linked: classroom vignettes showcasing the use of literature and inviting conversation; three key principles elaborating the main theme of the chapter and connecting theory with practice; and related research on the topics and their importance for curriculum. Other chapter features include key issues in implementation, suggestions for working with linguistically and culturally diverse students, alternative approaches to assessment, and suggestions for further reading. A companion website to enrich and extend the text includes an annotated bibliography of literature selections, suggested text sets, resources by chapter, and ideas for professional development.
