Between the ages of nine and eleven he spent about a year at William Giles’s School in Chatham, Kent, and from thirteen to fifteen he attended Wellington House Academy in London.

  • Graphic Novels: Enticing Teenagers Into the Library
    School of Media, Culture and Creative Arts Department of Information Studies Graphic Novels: Enticing Teenagers into the Library Clare Snowball This thesis is presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Curtin University of Technology March 2011 Declaration To the best of my knowledge and belief this thesis contains no material previously published by any other person except where due acknowledgement has been made. This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university. Signature: _____________________________ Date: _________________________________ Page i Abstract This thesis investigates the inclusion of graphic novels in library collections and whether the format encourages teenagers to use libraries and read in their free time. Graphic novels are bound paperback or hardcover works in comic-book form and cover the full range of fiction genres, manga (Japanese comics), and also nonfiction. Teenagers are believed to read less in their free time than their younger counterparts. The importance of recreational reading necessitates methods to encourage teenagers to enjoy reading and undertake the pastime. Graphic novels have been discussed as a popular format among teenagers. As with reading, library use among teenagers declines as they age from childhood. The combination of graphic novel collections in school and public libraries may be a solution to both these dilemmas. Teenagers’ views were explored through focus groups to determine their attitudes toward reading, libraries and their use of libraries; their opinions on reading for school, including reading for English classes and gathering information for school assignments; and their liking for different reading materials, including graphic novels.

  • Elementary Catalog 2020 Inspire Teachers and Learners with Outstanding Books
    Elementary Catalog 2020 Inspire Teachers and Learners with Outstanding Books BOARD BOOKS LEVELED READERS SOCIO-EMOTIONAL LEARNING INCLUSIVE TEXTS STEAM NONFICTION FICTION AWARD WINNERS Dear Educators, When a catalog that lists books arrives in my mailbox, I stop everything and browse excitedly through the pages! I can’t resist the pull of learning about books that I can order for my students. The catalog you’re holding now, filled with page after page of outstanding books, from the Penguin Random House family of publishers was developed especially to support you and the children you teach! If you’re like me, you’ll want to choose books for your class library and guided reading groups that focus on students’ interests. Remember to reserve time to include your students in the book selection process. Take a few minutes and ask them to turn-and-talk to a partner about books they’d love to see in their classroom. Then, have students jot on a piece of notebook paper the topics they’re curious about, authors they love, series they want to read, and favorite genres. Adding books students suggest to your classroom collections honors them as readers and shows how much you value and respect their input. The more books your students read and enjoy, the more they’ll improve. Volume and choice in reading matters! Happy reading! Laura Robb EDUCATOR, AUTHOR, AND LITERACY SPECIALIST A classroom teacher for more than 43 years, Laura is the author of more than thirty books on Literacy and the new “Let’s Work Together Teaching Guide” series from Penguin Random House Education.
