Alma Flor Ada and You
Teacher Ideas Press | Alma Flor Ada | September 30, 2005 ISBN 10: 1591581869 ISBN 13: 9781591581864 Playing on the phrase, "the author and you"--which is a commonly taught reading comprehension strategy that teaches the learner how to look at the words of an author and make inferences about what is being said--this series will assist the teacher and teacher librarian in understanding the underlying purposes of the author as they prepare learning activities for their students. The series that will focus primarily on books for the elementary age child (K-6) will feature insights into the author's background, purposes and goals in writing his books. By furnishing an overview of the author's works, the books in the series will give teachers the big picture. Each book will feature personal information about the author, including insight into why he writes the type of books he does plus lesson plans and/or activities for each of the author's books featured. These lessons will stress the particular interest of the author and "the author and you (the teacher)" will build a collaborative instructional relationship u Can$42.00 [Add to Cart] [View Cart] Also of interest:    “In each of these books, the reader is acquainted with the author in a depth hitherto unavailable to teachers and teacher-librarians. This series provides background for working with the many children who love an author’s work and have so many questions. And readers will understand and appreciate the efforts behind the many hours that each author spends on creating a work to be enjoyed by thousands and thousands of children. Highly recommended.”—Library Media Connection |
