  • 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.

    Westridge School 6th Grade Summer Reading List for 2020 Required Reading Besides all the great books you will choose to read on your own this summer, Project Mulberry will be a part of how we start our year. Below are some questions to get you thinking. Please answer each of the following sets of questions. Be creative in how you answer them. You can make a fanfold book or a storyboard or another creative way to answer. You can write a poem or just use your most beautiful print or cursive to answer them, decorating the page when you are done. Be imaginative! 1. What is important about family heritage? What are the stories you want to keep about your family? What do you share and celebrate? 2. Why do you think the author has a conversation with her main character? 3. How are Patrick and Julia different? How are they similar? How does their friendship evolve (change)? 4. In the story, where do you see the cultural heritage of one person influencing or enriching someone else’s life? Quote a passage in the book that illustrates your example. Independent Reading There is nothing better than having lots of time to read good books at the beach, in the park, in the quiet of your room or private corner. And the more we read the better we read…AND the better we write. Yep, it’s true!! Writers become good writers by reading what other writers write! (Whew! Say that quickly twenty times!) Please tell me about two more books you read, this summer.
