  • More about The Classroom Library: A Catalyst for Literacy Instruction

The Classroom Library: A Catalyst for Literacy Instruction provides teachers with a guide to setting up and using the classroom library to support literacy, with excerpts and stories of practicing teachers who have successfully used it. It focuses on working with under-served students and includes tips, ideas, and descriptions to help teachers create a library oasis in their classroom.

Format: Hardback
Length: 200 pages
Publication date: 29 October 2021
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield


The Classroom Library: A Catalyst for Literacy Instruction is a comprehensive guide for classroom teachers seeking to establish and enhance their classroom libraries to support literacy instruction. It serves two primary purposes: first, it provides teachers with a step-by-step guide on how to set up and use the classroom library effectively, and second, it showcases excerpts and stories of practicing teachers who have successfully used their classroom libraries to teach literacy.

The book is filled with a wealth of photos, documents, tips, ideas, and descriptions that inspire teachers to create a vibrant and engaging classroom library that will scaffold students' literacy development. Several chapters specifically address the needs of under-served students, including those in urban settings, those learning English as a second language, and those without access to other libraries.

The content of the book is easy to use and accessible, making it an ideal companion to More Mirrors in the Classroom: Using Urban Children's Literature to Increase Literacy. Both volumes cover the selection of culturally responsive children's literature, which is essential for promoting diversity and inclusivity in the classroom.

The Classroom Library: A Catalyst for Literacy Instruction is a valuable resource for teachers who are committed to providing their students with the best possible literacy education. It offers a wealth of practical tips, strategies, and examples that can be applied in any classroom setting. By creating a classroom library that is tailored to the needs of their students, teachers can help to foster a love of reading and writing that will last a lifetime.
