Moss Publishes Two Books

Joy Moss, adjunct associate professor, has written two books published this year: Literary Discussion in the Elementary School, and From Literature to Literacy: Bridging Learning in the Library and the Primary Grade Classroom , co-authored with Marilyn F. Fenster. Joy is a literature specialist at The Harley School in Rochester, NY, and is a 1969 master's graduate of the Warner School.

Literary Discussion in the Elementary School (National Council of Teachers of English, August 2002) offers a rich resource for preservice and practicing teachers who want to build, extend, or enliven a program in which students explore the expanding world of children's literature. Topics addressed range from the selection of books for reading aloud, to the art of questioning, to an extended description of a thematic literary unit. (Review from www.ncte.org)

Literature to Literacy (International Reading Association, August 2002) shows how elementary school teachers and librarians can collaborate to provide rich and fulfilling literary and literacy experiences for the children they teach. (Review from www.reading.org)
