-- Nicky-Jane Kerr-Gilbert

Having an in-depth understanding of children’s literature is one of the most important aspects of teachers’ subject knowledge. Being in a position to support and enrich children’s development as engaged readers is equally important. This book is not only an extraordinary exploration of children’s literature, from picturebooks and graphic novels to nonfiction and poetry, but also a supportive and knowledgeable guide to the development of a whole school reading culture. This is essential reading for every student, teacher and school leadership teams.

-- Tracy Parvin
The best way to develop young readers is to ensure they get access to materials that engage and inspire them. This book explores how children’s literature can be used in teaching, and is supported by a range of extra online resources, including further book recommendations. Aimed at teachers based in primary education, this resource will be very useful for teachers within secondary education, as well, as it covers materials suitable for older readers. -- Jan Beechey * Dyslexia Review *
