The national English curriculum is built around three interrelated strands that support students’ growing understanding and use of English. Language – Knowing about the English language: a coherent, dynamic, and evolving body of knowledge about the English language and how it works. Literature – Understanding, appreciating, responding to, analysing and creating literature: an enjoyment in, and informed appreciation of, how English language can convey information and emotion, create imaginative worlds and aesthetic and other significant experiences. Literacy – Growing a repertoire of English usage: the ability to understand and produce the English language accurately, fluently, creatively, critically, confidently, and effectively in a range of modes, and digital and print settings, in texts designed for a range of purposes and audiences.

Top 10 Trends- According to Scholastic U.S. qaS0g

1. Bullying is THE Timely Topic in Kids’ Books 2. ’13 Will be a Lucky Number for Science Fiction Fans 3. Intriguing Nonfiction 4. Novels-in-Cartoons 5. Kid Lit on the Screen 6. War 7. Tough Girls 8. Survival Stories 9. Spotlight on Diversity 10. Nature Runs Amok.

My Current Top Reads and Trends….

Shaun Tan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Animals, Humour, Bears in Picture Books! Picture books for ages four to eight are still going strong, especially silly, wacky stories. Despite what you’ve heard recently at writers’ conferences, talking animals seem to be back in style, as long as the characters have very strong, distinct personalities (realistic and humorous stories about bears are the most popular).

The Teen Series

YA Booms From Twilight to The Hunger Games teen fiction is booming, with sales jumping almost 150 per cent in just six years. In the first five months of 2012, more than 2.4 million books in the category were sold compared to 981,000 in 2006, according to figures compiled by Neilsen BookScan. And it is not just children – industry experts estimate more than a third of teen fiction books are actually bought by adults. Read more:

Crime Fiction for Teens

Sexy Historical Fiction! Historical fiction: Editor/agent interest in historical fiction is not in “straight historical” but rather in stories about people in the past that have another layer, such as paranormal or mystery—like Jennifer Donnelly’s Revolution. Deborah reported low agent/editor interest in straight historicals.

Horror Rules

Our new research with 34,910 young people aged eight to 16 reveals: *39% of children and young people read daily using electronic devices including tablets and eReaders, but only 28% read printed materials daily. *The number of children reading eBooks has doubled in the last two years (from 6% to 12%). *Children say they prefer to read on screen. Over half (52%) said they would rather read on electronic devices but only a third (32%) would rather read in print. *Nearly all children have access to a computer at home and 4 out of 10 now own a tablet or a smartphone, while 3 in 10 do not have a desk of their own. *Girls are significantly more likely than boys to read in print (68% vs 54%) *Girls are also more likely to read on a range of on-screen devices including mobile phones (67% girls vs. 60% boys), eReaders (84% girls vs. 69% boys), and tablets (70% girls vs. 67% boys). worse-for-kids-than-paper-books/ 2013 June
