TRENDS IN YOUNG ADULT FICTION AND NON-FICTION LITERATURE ACROSS THE CURRICULUM
Ros Krajewski, West Salem

Choice and free reading are among the most powerful tools we have in literacy education.  Students who read more read better, write better, and develop larger vocabularies.  This workshop will provide hands-on opportunities to apply and discuss comprehension and writing strategies using both fiction and nonfiction young adult literature.  There will be an abundant supply of current fiction, nonfiction, and professional resources to read and share.

Research says that in order for adults to understand and teach strategies, they must consciously apply them in their own reading.  Come, read, and created a community of readers/learners who will explore ways to create literate classrooms in all disciplines, spark interest, and motivate young adults to read more and think deeper.
