A teacher educator, former high school teacher, and host of ReadWriteThink.org's \u003ci\u003eText Messages\u003c\/i\u003e podcast, she has shared her enthusiasm for this vibrant literature with thousands of teachers and adolescents. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe knows that middle and high school students run the gamut as readers, from nonreaders to struggling readers to reluctant readers to dutiful readers to enthusiastic readers. And in a culture where technological distractions are constant, finding a way to engage all of these different kinds of readers is challenging, no matter the form of delivery. More and more, literacy educators are turning to YA lit as a way to transform all teens into enthusiastic readers. If we want to meet the needs of all students as readers, we have to offer books they can--and want to--read. Today's YA lit provides the books that speak to the world of teens even as they draw them out into the larger world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut we have to do more than put YA titles in front of students and teach these books as we've traditionally taught more canonical works. Instead, we can implement a YA pedagogy--one that revolves around student motivation while upholding the goals of rigor and complexity. Buehler explores the three core elements of a YA pedagogy with proven success in practice: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA classroom that cultivates reading community\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA teacher who serves as book matchmaker and guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnd tasks that foster complexity, agency, and autonomy in teen readers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eWith a supporting explication of \u003ci\u003eNCTE's Policy Research Brief Reading Instruction for All Students\u003c\/i\u003e and lively vignettes of teachers and students reading with passion and purpose, this book is designed to help teachers develop their own version of YA pedagogy and a vision for teaching YA lit in the middle and secondary classroom.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jennifer Buehler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0814157262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814157268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National Council of Teachers of English (Ncte\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/03\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 173\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 7.50w x 0.40d","brand":"Jennifer Buehler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44079367454975,"sku":"9780814157268","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_88075c5f-a7d6-4549-a6f5-c8b6a4ec3a14.jpg?v=1685480734","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/teaching-reading-with-ya-literature-jennifer-buehler-9780814157268","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
