Believing in Living Literature Chapter 1

"A teacher's most important role (in my humble opinion) is first to teach the art of reading then to foster … a child's enjoyment of books." Dick King-Smith

What it means to "Live Literature"

Children's Literature: Backbone of the reading program Major source of content knowledge Can increase our understanding of ourselves and our place in the world Potential for transformative experiences

Share children's literature to develop effective readers and writers.

Share literature to foster a life-long enjoyment of books and reading.

Living Literature Classroom

Examining Beliefs

What we believe and how we teach have long-term effects on students. If we believe all children will learn, then we will teach differently.

Do you believe that all children can learn? A guided reading lesson with a deaf child

Valuing Literacy Some books are currently considered "dangerous" for children. Understand why people may object to certain types of reading materials.

Teaching is a scholarly act Keep current with new children's literature Read and keep professionally active Learn the professional discourse (the terminology of literacy)

Goals for Living Literature

Teaching children to read

Teaching children to WANT to read

1. Surround children with literature instead of just textbooks.

2. Allow students to teach others.

3. Allow students choice in their reading.

4. Provide opportunities for students to discuss books with others.

What we know about poor reading attitudes: Generally, teenagers' interest in reading declines. Interest declines when reading is limited to prescribed texts and quality literature is not included. Students in lower ability groups are usually not motivated to read.

Living Literature Principles

Children learn what they live.

Living Literature Framework

Provide students with the best children's literature.

Design experiences that incorporate the six language arts.

Teachers use strategic and explicit teaching.

Teachers encourage experimentation as children respond to literature.

Teachers use focused, specific feedback to children.

Curriculum is integrated and inquiry based.
