Young Adult Literature in the Classroom

Reading It, Teaching It, Loving It

Joan B. Elliott and Mary M. Dupuis, editors

Find out how young adult literature promotes learning across cultures, genres, disciplines, and grade levels. This resource-packed book is divided into three sections — Responding to Reading, Exploring Genres, and Studying Authors — and offers classroom-tested “Teacher Ideas” throughout. An appendix lists websites related to YA literature.

Not only will you discover new ways of teaching and viewing YA literature, you’ll find materials and strategies to captivate students as readers as they grow into adolescence.
