| Summary: | In a time when teachers are working incredibly hard to provide students with strategies to read different kinds of text, to write across genres, and to speak and listen with purpose, Katie Egan Cunningham reminds us that when we bridge strategy with the power of story we deepen literacy learning. In Story: Still the Heart of Literacy Learning, Katie shares her story as a classroom teacher, staff developer, professor, and mother and shows teachers how to create classrooms of caring, empathetic, inquisitive storytellers. You will learn specific ways to build a classroom library that reflects our diverse society through rich, purposeful, and varied texts. Katie provides numerous examples of multigenre and multimodal stories from children's and young adult literature, poetry, songs, and multimedia, and the practical toolkit at the end of each chapter demonstrates how to make stories come alive in any classroom. -- Provided by publisher.
