Keeping up with children's literature
As an early years educator, I have always had a particular passion for picture books, and this means that I have not always held an expansive or up to date knowledge of literature for middle and upper primary. To address this I need to engage with resources that will support me to hold a broader knowledge.
*Journals such as Connections, SCAN, Reading Time, and Magpies
Presently, I understand children's literature to include:
Picture books
Graphic novels, comics and manga
Comtemporary realistic fiction
Science fiction
Historical fiction
Young Adult fiction
