Children's Literature

Portfolio Activities

Activity 10.1: Recommended Reading

As you explore the world of children's literature, you will encounter books that you cannot wait to introduce to new audiences. In an album or binder keep a list of these books and include ideas for book talks, constructs, discussion topics, and extension activities. Be sure to note the basics: author, title, copyright, ISBN, and publisher.

Activity 10.2: Reflection

Do you remember the first book you fell in love with? How old were you? How did you find this book? Did you own it? Who read it to you, or with you? What did you love about it? Can you remember any of it by heart, or vividly describe any of the illustrations or plot?
