Classic Connections: Turning Teens On To Great Literature
Libraries Unlimited | Koelling, Holly | Available ISBN 10: 1591580722 ISBN 13: 9781591580720 Getting teens to read, much less enjoy classic literary fiction is an on-going challenge for educators and librarians. However, Holly Koelling—author, YA librarian, and “booktalker extraordinaire”—offers a variety of techniques for rising to that challenge and successfully selecting, presenting, and connecting teens with great literature in the library and in school. This book defines “classics” and discusses why they are important, then provides a step-by-step process for finding the “hooks” that attract teens, educating yourself about classic literature, and motivating and inspiring readers. This is an upbeat, information-packed guide that anyone working with teen readers will refer to again and again.
