ED 572 Children’s Books, Schools and Culture in Great Britain


(3 credits)
Designed for pre-service and in-service pre-school, elementary, and middle school teachers, school librarians and literacy/reading specialists, this course explores British children’s literature, the culture that helped to create these stories, and how children’s literature is used in the English schools today. Using a seminar format, the course begins on the Glenside campus with a discussion of how culture affects reading and literature and an overview of the British educational system. The course then moves to the University of Reading, England.
