Teen Literacy Tips

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. I'd also love to hear what you have to say, so please feel free to comment on any post. Thanks for visiting!

There’s a new poll for you to vote on, so please participate by selecting the books that have helped you the most in teaching literature. There are six to choose from, and you can choose as many as you like. If there’s another book that’s been a big influence on your teaching of literature, then leave a comment and tell us about it. Here are a few other site changes:

• You might have noticed a new tab on the top of the page called “Classroom Posters.” I’ve partnered with AllPosters.com to bring you literature-themed posters for your classrooms. You’ll find authors, book covers, and inspiring words for growing readers.
• Also, be sure to visit the Teen Literacy Bookstore, where I’ve selected some of the best books for teachers of literature.
• Every time you make a purchase or a donation, you help further the cause of teen literacy by helping to defray the costs of this website and contributing toward books for my classroom library. Thanks to the generosity of people like Chaleygirl, I was able to purchase several new titles yesterday for my students, including Markus Zusak’s award-winning novel The Book Thief.

Thanks again to everyone who has supported Teen Literacy Tips over the past few months, either by leaving comments or by patronizing the sponsors. I couldn’t do it without you.
