Connecting Children with Classics

This children's literature guide focuses on children's reading needs and "the classics" to better engage with young readers and encourage lifelong reading. This unique readers' advisory and collection development guide for librarians and others who work with children focuses on readers and their needs, rather than simply categorizing books by their characteristics and features as traditional literature guides do.
Taking this unusual perspective brings forth powerful new tools and curricular ideas on how to promote the classics, and how to best engage with young readers and meet their personal and emotional needs to boost interest.
The guide identifies reader-driven appeals essential to a successful readers' advisory:
Awakening new perspectives
Providing models for identity
Offering reassurance, comfort, strength, and confirmation of self-worth
Connecting with others
Giving courage to make a change
Facilitating acceptance
Building a disinterested understanding of the world.
