The Classroom Library: A Catalyst for Literacy Instruction serves two purposes by first providing classroom teachers with a how-to guide in setting up and using the classroom library to support literacy. Next, it provides teachers with excerpts and stories of practicing teachers who have successfully used their classroom library to teach literacy. A wide array of photos, documents, tips, ideas, and descriptions lead teachers to create a classroom library that will scaffold students in the classroom library to establish and extend their literacy development. Several chapters specifically focus on working with under-served students, including students in urban settings, those who are learning English as a second language, and students without access to other libraries. Content in this book is easy to use to help teachers establish a library oasis in their classroom to support learners in preschool through grade eight classrooms. This book is a companion book to More Mirrors in the Classroom: Using Urban Childrenâs Literature to Increase Literacy. Both volumes cover the selection of culturally responsive childrenâs literature.

Industry Reviews

Based on extensive research and the collaboration of practitioners across the field, The Classroom Library: A Catalyst for Literacy Instruction is a practical guide for establishing and using the classroom library as an integral part of the LA program to engage, validate, and develop EVERY child as lifelong readers.

This book is essential for teachers who have, or plan to have, a classroom library. Topics range from practical library management best practices to developing a culture of diversity supported by the classroom collection.

This text makes clear the importance of an under-explored topic: the classroom library. From setting up a culturally responsive environment of texts to lessons on working with school media specialists, this book offers something for both beginning teachers as they plan and build their libraries and those teachers looking for new ways to encourage literacy within their established classrooms.
