  • Literature and Literacy
    Literature and Literacy Roselmina Indrisano Boston University School of Education © 2008 Roselmina Indrisano 2 Introduction This annotated bibliography includes fifty books in the narrative genre that were selected for young readers. Each book or author is the recipient of one or more of the following awards: Caldecott and Newbery Awards, the American Library Association Notable Book Award, and the Coretta Scott King Award. The books are appropriate for readers in the first through sixth grades, with an approximately even distribution among the levels. Each entry in the bibliography includes: the complete reference; the level, as determined by The Fountas-Pinnell Leveled Book List K-8 (Heinneman, 2006) or the Fry Readability Formula (Fry, 1977); the awards; and three teaching ideas that are coded to selected standards in the Massachusetts English Language Arts Frameworks . A list of these standards is provided on page 52. In the few instances where the language and the structure of the text are more complex than the concepts, there is a note in the annotation to suggest that the book is suitable for reading aloud to younger learners. One of the teaching ideas for each book focuses on poetry. The number in parentheses that follows refers to the poetry anthology where the poem is published. The list of poetry anthologies is on pages 53-54. The author acknowledges, with gratitude, the assistance of Irene Papadopoulos Duros and Christine Leighton. Ms. Papadopoulos Duros reviewed the manuscript and computed the Fry readability formula for books that were not entered on the Fountas-Pinnell list. Ms. Leighton reviewed and summarized the literature on children’s reading interests that informed the selection of the books.

Depicting the life and events that of Winnipeg the bear, Finding Winnie highlights the people and stories behind the origins of the beloved Winnie-the-Pooh. The story had even more heartfelt moments, for it was written by the great-granddaughter of Harry Colebourn, Winnie’s original owner. The author uniquely plays off of this, telling the story with layers of narration to her own son, until Winnie’s story becomes Winnie-the-Pooh’s story.

  • Special Edition Podcast: Robert Mccloskey
    PODCAST TRANSCRIPT SPECIAL EDITION PODCAST: ROBERT MCCLOSKEY Sarah Mackenzie: 00:00 This is a special edition of the Read-Aloud Revival Podcast. Some authors and illustrators deserve, well, extra attention. If you see their books on a bookshelf, at a garage sale, at the library, and pretty much anywhere, you should just pick them up and read them, read them on your own, read them to the kids in your life. No matter which book it is. And the authors and illustrators behind these kinds of books fascinate me. In this special edition podcast we're meeting the man behind Make Way for Ducklings, Blueberries for Sal, One Morning in Maine, Time of Wonder, Homer Price, and others. Yes, indeed. You've got a special edition of the Read-Aloud Revival. I'm your host, Sarah Mackenzie, and friends, I want to introduce you to Robert McCloskey. Sarah Mackenzie: 01:22 Mr. And Mrs. Mallard we're looking for a place to live, but every time Mr. Mallard saw what looked like a nice place, Mrs. Mallard said it was no good. There were sure to be foxes in the woods or turtles in the water. And she was not going to raise a family where there might be foxes or turtles. So they flew on and on. When they got to Boston, they felt too tired to fly any further. There was a nice pond in the public garden with a little island on it, "The very place to spend the night", quacked Mr. Mallard. So down they flapped.
