Tunnell, Michael O. and James S. Jacobs. Children's Literature, Briefly. 4e.
After reading chapter 18 it made me think that sometimes it is not always best to use textbooks for teaching, sometimes it may be better to use trade books. Since some school districts cannot afford to buy textbooks more often then every 5-10 years, trade books can contain more up-to-date information.
What I also thought was interesting was that the chapter stated that it is best to not push your class to finish a book too fast, but to set a 2-3 week period for them to finish. This will relieve some of the pressure on students that do not read quickly, they will be able to take their time and will not miss something important in the reading.
