Review “A Quick Guide to Selecting Great Informational Books for Young Children” and “Assessing Children’s Literature.”
Review the children’s section at a local public library. Consider and reflect upon the following questions:
- What is included in the collection?
- How does the collection support cultural and linguistic diversity, language development, and reading acquisition in young adolescents? Observe and reflect upon the range of books available, genres.
- How does the space within the library encourage children’s engagement with high quality literature, high quality informational texts, and electronic sources?
In 250-500-words, reflect on your observations. In addition, note any special literacy staffing and/or literacy events. As the Benchmark Assessment focuses on lesson planning with informational text, it will be especially important to focus on understanding distinctions between high-quality literature and high-quality informational texts. Write this assignment according to the APA guidelines.
