Once upon a time, nonfiction books for children routinely included concise, stodgy writing. Most of the books were text heavy, with just a few scattered images decorating, rather than enhancing, the content and meaning. But nonfiction has changed dramatically over the last two decades, evolving into a new breed of visually dynamic, engaging texts that delight as well as inform. The timing of these groundbreaking changes couldn�t be better, as English Language Arts standards now put an increased focus on nonfiction reading and writing.� For decades, we�ve classified fiction as a way to study, understand, and, ultimately, teach it better. However, up to now, nonfiction hasn�t received this same level of intention. In 5 Kinds of Nonfiction: Enriching Reading and Writing Instruction with Children�s Books, Melissa Stewart and Marlene Correia present a new way to sort nonfiction into five major categories and show how doing so can help teachers and librarians build stronger readers and writers. Along the way, they:introduce the 5 kinds of nonfiction�active, browseable, traditional, expository literature, and narrative�and explore each category through discussions, classroom examples, and insights from leading children�s book authors�offer tips for building strong, diverse classroom and library collectionsprovide more than 20 activities to enhance literacy instruction andinclude innovative strategies for sharing and celebrating nonfiction with students.�With more than 150 exemplary nonfiction book recommendations and Stewart and Correia�s extensive knowledge of literacy instruction, 5 Kinds of Nonfiction will elevate your understanding of nonfiction in ways that speak specifically to the info-kids in your classrooms, but will inspire all readers and writers. 180 Days of Writing is an easy-to-use resource that will teach third grade students to become efficient writers.

University of Surrey, Guildford, UK Writing Program Administration. Series Editors: Susan H. McLeod and Margot Soven ECOLOGIES OF WRITING PROGRAMS: PROGRAM PROFILES IN CONTEXT contributes to our understanding of writing programs as complex ecological systems. The collection includes profiles of fifteen exemplary and innovative writing programs in their fluid, dynamic, and relational contexts, highlighting the ways in which writing programs-like all discursive systems-are ecologies. By examining writing programs as they exist within the context of interrelated, emergent institutional systems that are in constant flux, this collection complements broader perspectives on the history, theory, and practices of writing program administration, shifting the focus to how research and theory within the field of rhetoric and composition get enacted in particular programs and how histories and practices are enabled and constrained by particular institutional locations, contexts, and exigencies. With a focus on the constraints and challenges of developing writing programs, ECOLOGIES OF WRITING PROGRAMS also extends important critical discussions of the working conditions of WPAs, highlighting material and managerial matters, along with the conflicting cultural and institutional issues that shape and are shaped by WPA work. The organization of each section highlights these complex and dynamic interrelationships, reflecting how writing programs are located in their institutional sites (from first-year composition to writing across the curriculum and writing in the disciplines to undergraduate majors in rhetoric and composition) how the activities of writing program administrators carve out new spaces for collaborative relationships and interactions and how WPAs reposition programs and are themselves repositioned as they explore new sites for writing program administration.
