 * Welcome to LAE 3414 Literature for Children! **

I have two main objectives for this course. First, I want you to immerse yourself in great literature of all levels from picture books to adolescent novels and different genres such as fantasy, realistic and historic fiction, informational, biographies and more. Recommending the right book to students in your future classroom can make all the difference in their motivation to read. To do this, you need to have a solid, well-rounded foundation of knowledge about children’s literature.

Second, I want you to learn the pedagogical knowledge you will need to teach children to become life-long readers. You will learn effective teaching strategies to move students forward in their journey to becoming avid and efficient readers. To do this, we will utilize not only reading, but writing, speaking, listening, arts integration, and technology to engage the whole child.

So, get ready to jump into the pages of some rich and exciting books this semester. Let’s get started.
