Book Reviews of Reading Strands: Understanding Fiction
Book Review: Excellent resource for many different ages
Summary: 5 Stars
As a Secondary English teacher, I feel this book would be a wonderful teaching tool for homeschoolers or public school teachers. Explanations are clear and examples are ample. Although this is excellent for younger grades, it is also an great review or introduction to literature for older students as well. Literary terms, such as setting, mood, clarity, character development, ..., are well-explained and any student would be well-equipped to discuss and analyze literature with these tools. In fact, I think that high school students who wish to take the CLEP in Analyzing and Interpreting Literature would benefit from using this book before the test, especially studying the literary devices explained in the book.
Summary of Reading Strands: Understanding Fiction
Discusses the principles of teaching literature, developing critical thinking, the elements of fiction: setting, conflict, resolution, point-of-view. The ideas presented here are based on the knowledge that there can be great joy in reading, and that good literature can enrich anyone s life. The important thing to keep in mind, as you read through this small book, is that reading should be fun. If the young reader does not enjoy reading, it may be because reading is seen as work. The reader is either above or below the level of the material, or the material has not been selected with the reader s interests in mind. If your student does not like to read, change the program. Forcing a child who does not like to read the material may make that child hate the material. Change the material not the child. The point of this type of reading is the enjoyment of it, not the information it contains.
