This text provides classroom teachers and education students with successful, class-tested activities that are valuable for developing and implementing a literature-based reading program. Literature-Based Reading Activities is distinguished by discussion of the theoretical and research bases supporting all activities. Numerous activities and examples of their application to a variety of genres are provided. One of the text's strengths is that activities are generic in nature so that they may be applied and adapted to a variety of books. It also provides guidelines so that teachers and students learn how to be effective decision-makers in planning literature instruction for their K-8 students.Yopp, Ruth H. is the author of 'Literature-Based Reading Activities', published 2000 under ISBN 9780205319633 and ISBN 0205319637.
