Children's Literature Assembly Breakfast 2024

It is a teacher's privilege and responsibility to help students discover the joy of reading, while they also teach students how to internalize the skills and strategies of fluent reading. This occurs through teacher modeling, reading aloud quality literature to the class, recommending books to children based on their individual interests, and through incorporating literature into teaching lessons and learning activities across the curriculum. To that end, the members of CLA are dedicated to achieving the following goals:

To provide a forum for exchange among teachers of children's literature who share keen interest in children and classrooms;

To promote children's literature as a field of learning, research, and classroom application;

To undertake and disseminate programs and projects of special interest to those interested in children's literature; and

To work cooperatively with other organizations devoted to the promotion of literature in children's lives.

The Children's Literature Assembly (CLA) of the National Council of Teachers of English is a professional community of children’s literature enthusiasts who advocate the centrality of literature in children’s academic and personal lives.

The winners will need to pay for and collect their pieces up at the end of the Children's Literature Assembly Breakfast featuring Lesa Cline-Ransome and James Ransome (Sunday, November 24 at 8:45 AM EST in Room 210A of the Boston Convention Center). You may pay with check, credit card, or cash.

If you fail to pick up your item, we will have to discuss shipping fees which can be high due to the fragility of the art and the limited shipping options available at the convention center.
