Bette Bosma and Nancy DeVries Guth have gathered success stories, real stories from classroom teachers who have integrated their schools’ curricula, including science, social studies, and other content areas, as well as accounts of teachers working with at-risk learners and multiaged groups of students. The editors explain the theoretical foundations of a collaborative, integrated, literature-based curriculum in the opening chapter, and then link the theory to the real-life accounts in the individual chapters. The book shows how to put theory into practice by selecting appropriate books, creating an interactive classroom environment, and planning engaging instructional units around all genres of high-quality children’s literature for primary and middle school teachers.
