Reading for Intermediate and Secondary Girls Presented by Melissa Holyfield and Dana Zacharko

What Should Teachers Keep in Mind While Selecting Books? Look actively for books portraying girls/women in a positive light with active, dynamic roles. Also, look for books and stories that do not portray either gender in a stereotypical manner. Rudman (1995) recommends gender-neutral books where individuals are portrayed with distinctive personalities irrespective of their gender achievements are not evaluated on the basis of gender occupations are represented as gender-free clothing is described in functional rather than gender-based terms females are not always weaker and more delicate than males individuals are logical or emotional depending upon the situation the language used in the text is gender-free, etc.

How Can Teachers Use Children's Literature to Promote Gender Equity? Before using strategies to identify gender stereotypes and develop gender-equitable perceptions among children, it is important for teachers to first recognize and articulate their own attitudes (Rudman 1995). Then they can guide children to be critical by using scaffolding strategies like the following: collectively analyzing gender assumptions in the text raising questions about main characters and their portrayal. asking children to reverse the genders of individuals, e.g., "What if Sleeping Beauty was a boy?" (Temple, 1993) having children guess a writer's gender on the basis of the story they have just heard (Lawrence, 1995) asking children to use gender-neutral names in the stories they write and read this aloud to other students so that they can guess the protagonist's gender (Lawrence, 1995) have children adopt the opposite sex's point of view about a very gendered issue (Lawrence, 1995)

The Reading & Language Arts Connection Reading and writing go hand in hand; you can’t have one without the other. In order to be good writers students need to see examples of outstanding literature. Students need to see how literary elements are successfully used.
