Teachers as Readers: A Look at One Group's Discoveries with the Works of Jerry Pinkney.

Zaleski, Joan

Journal of Children's Literature, v23 n1 p26-35 Spr 1997

Examines one "Teachers as Readers" group, in which teachers meet to read and discuss children's literature. Finds that (1) reading can be defined as making meaning from picture book illustrations; (2) collaboration can be defined as listening to students; and (3) readers respond differently to books based on the beliefs and values they bring to the reading event.
