Description
TEACHER-LIBRARIANS HAVE A POWERFUL OPPORTUNITY TO BECOME "CULTURAL CONDUITS" BECAUSE THEY PROVIDE THE CONNECTING LINK BETWEEN STUDENT READERS AND AN INFORMED BOOK SELECTION PROCESS. BY PROACTIVELY SELECTING APPROPRIATE READ-ALOUD LITERATURE, TEACHER-LIBRARIANS CAN INFORM AND ENABLE READERS TO MAKE EMOTIONAL CONNECTIONS WITH BOOK CHARACTERS AND CAN ASSIST STUDENTS TO GRASP THE VALUES IMPLICIT IN AN INCREASINGLY DIVERSE CULTURE. Teachers and school librarians, charged with responsibility for nurturing the literacy lives of school-age youth, possess daily opportunities to inform and encourage students as they develop new reading tastes and interests. Instructional leaders wield enormous influence by the words they utter about books in addition to what they leave unsaid. They also provide support through the resources they select and highlight from the staggering supply of available text.
