H26 -
The Right Book at the Right Time: Quality Fiction in Children's Books

This seminar will explore qualities that make outstanding books for children ages five through fifth grade. Together we will explore the various genres for young readers and the factors that make each of them successful. We will cover fiction, and some nonfiction, in picture books, beginning readers and chapter books. Book discussions will focus on what to look for to introduce to children "the right book at the right time." Participants will have the opportunity to explore writing for young readers in exercises that can be taken back to the classroom--or the writer's chair.
