Description
Here is a practical handbook for school librarians who seek to create an active, energetic, and imaginative school environment with literacy as its focus.
Creating a Culture of Literacy: Programming Ideas for Elementary School Librarians is an essential guide for elementary school librarians. Based on the author's 20 years of experience in school library programming, the book includes dozens of examples of literacy-based activities and programs that can serve as means to challenge, encourage, and validate young readers. At the same time, it suggests practical ways to create a culture of literacy by involving students and their families with a variety of reading-related activities.
Developing literate students in a culture of literacy must involve all the members of the school community—students, teachers, administrators, staff, and families. The school library can lead the way with strong and imaginative programming. The wide range of ideas this book offers for creating a culture of literacy in every school will appeal to both the novice and the experienced school librarian. Grades K-6
