Choosing and using fiction and non-fiction, 3-11 : a comprehensive guide for teachers and student teachers /
Mallett, Margaret.
London ; New York : Routledge,
2010.
Choosing and Using Fiction and Non-Fiction 3-11 is a guide to the many kinds of text we want children to encounter, use and enjoy during their nursery and primary school years. So children's non-fiction literature - including autobiography, biography, information and reference texts - is given equal status with fiction - nursery rhymes, picturebooks, novels, traditional tales, playscripts and poetry. The author addresses important issues and allows the voices of teachers, reviewers and children to be heard. The book supports teachers as they help children on their journey to becoming insightful and critical readers of non-fiction and sensitive and reflective readers of fiction. It also contains suggestions for practice which are in the spirit of the more flexible and creative approach to learning towards which primary schools are moving.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 375-384) and index.
