ED 413: Children's Literature
Welcome!
The goal of this course is to present an introduction to children's literature.  Content includes an overview of the history of children's literature and will focus on contemporary works and authors/ illustrators of books for children.  This course will help the classroom teacher understand children's books in all genres and  examine criteria for evaluation of literature. The  development  of ideas to promote/use literature both in the classroom and for recreation reading will also be discussed.
This is our home page for the study of children's literature this semester.  I hope you will find it useful and welcome suggestions for changes that would improve it for you.
