Textul de pe ultima copertă

A Reason to Read is the culminating work of the ArtsLiteracy Project, an ambitious and wide-ranging collaborative that aims to promote literacy through rich and sustained instruction in the arts. At the heart of the book is the Performance Cycle, a flexible framework for curriculum and lesson planning that can be adapted to all content areas and age groups. Each of the book s main chapters delineates and explores a particular component of the cycle.

A practical, readable, and inspiring book, A Reason to Read will be of immeasurable help to school teachers, education leaders, and all who have a stake in promoting literacy and the arts in today s schools.

This is both a profound and wonderfully practical book. In clear and helpful chapters, the authors show how teachers can use multiple art forms to help students probe and comprehend classic literary texts and create personally meaningful works of their own. The For the Classroom sections at the end of each chapter are superb. Richard J. Deasy, former director, Arts Education Partnership

This shining book reminds us that the reason to read truly, the desire to learn anything well springs from the same ineffable emotions summoned by the arts. Those who seek the key to academic motivation and mastery can do no better than to study the secrets Landay and Wootton unlock here with simplicity, practicality, and wisdom. Kathleen Cushman, author, Fires in the Mind

For over a decade, Landay, Wootton, and their many colleagues at the ArtsLiteracy Project have been exploring the rich possibilities at the intersection of arts and literacy development for deep learning and teaching. It has been visionary work, and this book provides vivid pictures of how to bring those possibilities into any classroom. Steve Seidel, faculty director, Arts in Education Program, Harvard Graduate School of Education
