Fall 2021: Access to Children’s Literature: What, Why, and How?
As the world responded to the pandemic in 2020, 2021, and beyond, our considerations regarding access to children’s literature changed. Teachers pivoted to provide remote and hybrid instruction, impacting their ability to read, share and discuss children’s literature in traditional and familiar ways. How have teachers responded to this dilemma using innovative and creative methods? What are the challenges in providing access to children’s literature in times of crisis, whether it be a pandemic or another challenging context? What are the tools and resources that teachers have found and used to keep students reading? How has this experience changed how we think about access to children’s literature across cultural, socioeconomic, ability, or other borders? We invite articles exploring issues of accessing and sharing children’s literature across a variety of challenging times and contexts. Manuscripts due - June 15, 2021 Spring 2022: Open Theme
We invite manuscripts that explore contemporary issues and questions, genre study, literary theory, and research related to children’s literature and reading. Manuscripts due - December 15, 2021 Fall 2022: Using Children’s Literature to Support Student Needs
Children’s literature can be a critical tool to use throughout the day and throughout the curriculum. It can facilitate student learning while opening up a world of possibilities for supporting students in every way. What are the ways that teachers use children’s literature to facilitate student learning while supporting students' needs? How can literature be a tool to further the goals teachers have for their students, grounded in courses of study and curriculum goals? How does children’s literature help teachers develop students not only as learners, but also as empathetic members of a community? We invite articles exploring pedagogical applications of children’s literature that support students across the curriculum and into their communities. Manuscripts due - June 15, 2022 Spring 2023: Open Theme
