Goldberg, G., Roswell, B. (2002). Reading, writing and gender: Instructional strategies and classroom activities that work for boys and girls. Larchmont, NY: Eye On Education.
An Annotation
Recommended for grades 3-8, this book is loaded with specific lessons, tools, and activities designed to teach Language Arts skills (such as reading and writing) with gender in mind. The authors do very little linking brain-based gender issues to pedagogy, so the value of this book lies in its practicality and activities, of which there are plenty. In short the activities are presented as things that work without much discussion about why they work.
One additional value of this book is at the very end, where you’ll find an annotated bibliography of nineteen sources related to gender and Language Arts—none of which I’ve included here.
