This book provides educators with the tools for understanding and teaching the art of language while accounting for the cultural and linguistic diversity of todayUs children. This book emphasizes a student- and response-centered approach to literature-based teaching in todayUs diverse classrooms. In addition to comprehensive explanation, the author discusses these principles through illuminating examples of real teachers in real classrooms involved in the actual implementation of these ideas. Also included in every chapter are RAssessment ToolS features to provide assessment strategies for field experiences and RRipple EffectS graphic organizers to illustrate how response-centered learning reaches across the curriculum.
