Recommended Readings in Literature Kindergarten Through Grade Eight, 1988
Recommended Readings in Literature Kindergarten Through Grade Eight 1988 Author:California Department of Education The annotated version of Recommeded Readings in Literature was prepared by the Department of Education's Language Arts and Foreign Languages Unit, working with an advisory committee and members of the California Reading Association. — From Forward: "Literature is for all children, regardless of their ages or grade levels. Reading should ... more »begin in the home and progress into a lifelong experience. Literature carries messages about life that are essential to complete a child's proper growth and development. Rather than being fragmented bits and pieces that lack "story structure," these literary works need to be complete stories that young readers will grasp and remember.
I am recomending the books that are listed...as examples of good literature for children. The more than 1,000 listed titles represent the advisory committee members' selectionss of children's classics, modern-day classics, and storybooks for recreational reading. As you plan your literature program, you should find this new edition even more useful than was the original edition, because all the title entries are annotated."
