Synopsis:

This practical text explores semantic webbing/mapping as a way of sharing literature with children ― helping develop their organizational skills and fostering greater understanding and appreciation of literature. The ready-to-apply ideas and suggestions not only show how to include webbing as part of K-8 teaching, but also explain how teachers can use webbing to encourage response to literature, extend comprehension, build literacy, reinforce vocabulary and spelling, construct knowledge cooperatively, and promote enthusiasm toward drama and writing. Because of its holistic approach, it is an ideal book for those who want to include more information on applications of “whole language.” This unique text also includes the basics of children's literature in discussions of genre, artistic styles, and literary elements. The author has compiled 125 webs drawn by students and teachers, with accompanying teaching ideas. She has also provided a comprehensive resources section, including annotations for over 200 children's books suggested for webbing to enrich instruction in all areas of the curriculum.
