Unit description:
Is designed for serving teachers and teacher librarians in early childhood, primary and secondary education. Students enrolling for this course need to read widely across the full range of literature for the young. The unit introduces the wide range of material now being published for the young and enables students to develop evaluative criteria for selecting books for use with individuals, groups and classes. It considers the nature of the reading process and the interrelation of reading with the other modes of language, exploring, in particular, the relationship of literature to the development of childrens powers of expression in speech and writing. The focus is especially on visual texts including picture books, film and commputer visuals.
