Enriching Literature Experiences of Children. Description of Teacher Inservice Education Materials.

National Education Association, Washington, DC. Project on Utilization of Inservice Education R & D Outcomes.

The intent of the inservice teacher education program described here is to allow teachers to focus on the possibilities that literature holds as a learning tool in children's education. Children's literature is interpreted here as a teaching device that contributes to both the child's skills in English language arts and reading and to his/her development as a self. The material is arranged in a series of activities that are designed to develop specific activity-related competencies. Information is provided on the program purposes, content, activities, resources, and history of development. Ordering information and a critique are also included. (DS)
