Recenzii
This collection of annotated titles aims at providing resources for anyone who works with inexperienced or low-literacy teenagers or adults. The introductory section of the volume outlines why Rosow prefers to emphasize time-tested classics and includes many lists of tips and inspirational quotations to help teachers, librarians, and tutors support and motivate readers.. Rosow thoughtfully includes discussion of physical attributes of the books she selects, including print size, quality and quantity of illustrations, and price. She also frequently annotates reader's theater versions and abridgements.
Much has been written on the subject of teaching the classics to children, young adults, and adults, but few authors offer insights into using the classics to improve reading skills. Rosow fills this significant gap in the literature by providing annotated lists of some of the best literature of all time, arranged by reading levels from from basic to intermediate and advanced. Major time periods, formats, and genres are represented. Entries contain partial plot summaries, ideas about how the books might be used, and ways in which alternate versions or formats provide support. Icons indicating the presence of illustrations, large print, author pick, student favorite, and affordability further guide the reader or teacher to the right sources. The intended audience is wide-ranging and includes anyone who wishes to foster language and literacy skills. Essential reading.
