Reading and Writing Pathways through Children’s and Young Adult Literature
Routledge (Verlag)
978-0-367-82101-2 (ISBN)
This thought-provoking book will provide masters students, teachers and researchers with a toolkit and theoretical framework for teaching literacy through children's literature. It features innovative ideas for developing student and teacher experiences with literature and popular culture texts in the classroom, providing practical examples and teaching aids throughout.
Taking a collaborative approach, Curtin explores how teachers and learners can engage with literature and its authors for the development of literacy in classroom practice. Connecting reader and writer identities and worlds through interviews with and suggested classroom activities from authors themselves, this text combines author, teacher and learner perspectives in the development of creative pedagogies that extend understandings of literacy beyond reading, writing and text.
Exploring fairy-tales, comic books and graphic novels, children living in literature (i.e., texts which portray children, their lives and experiences), popular culture, young adult fiction, and non-fiction and digital texts such as blogs etc, this text develops a sociocultural understanding of literacy as a lived and contextually dependent practice where meaning is derived through relationships between people, settings and culture. Different contexts for literacy are explored, including reading and writing strategically (to learn about literacy and literature), widely (for personal purposes) and deeply (to transform understanding) (Short, 2011).
This text will be an invaluable resource for teachers, researchers or anyone interested in reading and writing stories. The author interviews will also be of particular interest to older learners themselves as a way to develop their understanding of their own reading and writing practices. Pedagogies can be adapted to any age group, ranging from the early years to young adult.
Alicia Curtin is a Lecturer at the School of Education, University College Cork, Ireland, and researches and writes in the areas of learning, identity, assessment, neuroscientific perspectives on literacy, creative approaches to pedagogical design and innovative pedagogical research methods. Her work employs sociocultural theories to problematise and explore these central aspects of learning in ways highly relevant to education, teaching and our understanding of learning itself in all of its forms, inside the classroom and beyond.
