Description
Teachers need to be aware of the importance of children?s literature in supporting their literacy programmes and as a vehicle by which a wide range of learning, both cognitive and affective, are conveyed. As children?s literature forms a vital part of children?s formal and informal learning, teachers require a broad understanding of the genre?s many facets to support students? engagement with these texts. Moreover, teachers must draw on a wide variety of critical theories and approaches in order to help students understand the social, cultural and political implications of the books they read.
