Abstract
Each year the NCSS Notable Trade Book Committee selects “books that emphasize human relations, represent a diversity of groups and are sensitive to a broad range of cultural experiences, present an original theme or a fresh slant on a traditional topic, are easily readable and of high literary quality, and have a pleasing format and, when appropriate, illustrations that enrich the text. Each book is read by several reviewers, and books are included on the list by committee assent” (NCSS, 2023). In this session presenters will show participants how to access the current and previous lists of NCSS Notable Trade Books. Presenters will share ideas for how to integrate several award winners into elementary classrooms. The lessons will be based on the C3 Framework and will include suggestions for how to take informed action for our youngest learners. All lessons, resources, and ideas will be provided for participants.
