The Power of a Rich Reading Classroom
There is something quite magical about forming a connection to a book: the way in which the words on the page can conjure feelings of excitement, fun, joy, laughter or tears, channeling the part of our being that fundamentally makes us human. The journey that children take as they travel towards becoming a competent and confident reader can be a long, winding and complex road. This book helps teachers understand how to build a quality reading rich curriculum that supports the needs of all the children in their classroom. Starting with a section on choosing texts, the book goes on to explore a variety of essential teaching approaches from a read aloud programme, to drama and storytelling, art and illustration. This is a practical resource that provides teachers and schools ideas to support the embedding of text experience and deliver a reading rich curriculum that leads to higher student attainment and working at greater depth.
DiVERSE
Bringing together interviews with some of the most highly esteemed verse novelists writing for young adults and children today, DiVERSE develops an understanding of the poetics of the verse novel genre. With poignant conversations with 28 verse novelists illuminating how writers combine elements of poetry and narrative to craft poetic stories, this collection provides the means to appreciate the verse novel's diversity in its many variations and attests to recent shifts in the genre towards inclusive storytelling.Getting into the nuts and bolts of process, inspiration, technique, and the verse novel as a form, the writers discuss themes in their best-loved works such as representation of diverse voices, identities and lived experiences; empowering stories of girls and women; stories of LGBTIQ+, Black, First Nations, People of Colour, Asian, Minoritised Ethnic and people self-identifying as having a disability; body-positive messaging and resilience; and characters between countries, cultures, identities and languages. A reference text and a writing resource, the book also includes lists of must-read verse novels and a broad introduction from editor Linda Weste. Featuring authors from the UK, Australia and the US, the writers interviewed include: * Margarita Engle * Kirli Saunders * Carole Boston Weatherford * Rajani LaRocca * Safia Elhillo * Jasmine Warga * Melanie Crowder * Aida Salazar * Cordelia Jensen * Thanhhà Lai * Dean Atta * Lucy Cuthew * Rukhsanna Guidroz * Mariko Nagai * Ishle Yi Park * Jion Sheibani * Jasminne Mendez * Ann E.
