Author's of Children Literature

I am blogging about authors from my children’s home library. I have provided a brief biography about the author, the interest level, and websites.
AUTHOR PROFILE 1: Beverly Clearly’s biography explains that as little girl growing in the 1920’s there were no books on kids and she was considered by her grammar school a struggling reader. She overcame reading and soon as an adult became a librarian and started writing books of her own about kids that she had met. Beverly Clearly is an acclaimed children’s author and has been recognized for several Newbery awards. The Beverly Clearly website has interactive games with student resources and teacher guide on how to use Ramona Quimby books. The characters of all the Beverly Clearly collection is available and to view their character within the book. Beverly Clearly’s book level range about 3rd through 5th grade.

AUTHOR PROFILE 2: R.L. Stine is author for scary stories. He has written over 3oo books and translated into 32 languages. The books that interested me are the Goosebumps series which started in 1992 and also a TV series. R.L. Stine is a highly recognized author for his ghost stories and recipient of many awards. He included in his website a resource for teachers to help students write. The writing program is set up with processes of writing from memory, ask the what if question, how to develop ideas, journal writing and revising. There are interactive websites for children and a booklist of all his R.L. Stine’s work. The Goosebumps series are for children in grade level 4 through 8.

AUTHOR PROFILE 3: Lola M. Schaefer is an author that I chose due to her special needs books. Schaefer is a dedicated teacher, writer and reading coach. Schaefer has written over 200 books and many are nonfiction books engaging kinder through 2nd grades. She also writes textbooks, leveled readers, picture books and instructional books. Some Kids use Wheelchairs, Some Kids are Blind, Some Kids Wear Leg Braces, Some Kids are Deaf and Some Kids have Autism are booklist of some of her written work. These books interested me because they teach about differences and understanding differences. Each of the pages shown are children in their own environment with help from assisted equipment.
