Omschrijving
This book by well-known authors Liz Knowles and Martha Smith (Boys and Literacy, Reading Rules!, etc.) fills the need for a K-12 resource for teachers and librarians searching for materials and activity ideas for character education at all grade levels.
"Two media specialists at a Florida school recommend 600 books for every grade level that teach empathy, respect, courage, responsibility, perseverance, loyalty, honesty, cooperation, tolerance, citizenship, and forgiveness. The bibliographic entries summarize the plot of each book and are arranged into picture books, grades 1-3, grades 4-6, middle school, and young adult. Most of the titles are relatively recent works." - Reference & Research Book News
"With the adoption of a character education program by many school districts, teacher-librarians need lists of recommended resources and activity ideas provided by reputable sources, Liw Knowles and Martha Smith who wrote the well-regarded Boys and Literacy and Literacy Rules!, fill this need with this comprehensive resource, which is suitable for both elementary school and high school....[t]he authors provide lists of professional books and web sites to consult in building a character education collection to support this program. Highly recommended. This book is a must-buy if your school has a character education program. If your school does not have a character education program, this well-researched, well-organized, and well-written book is a useful collection development tool that will assist in selecting books on these themes." - Teacher Librarian
