THE UNIVERSITY OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK THE STATE EDUC ATION DEPA RT M E N T http://www.nysed.gov A Guide to Selecting Instructional Materials How and where can teachers find information to help them select instructional materials that meet the learning needs of all their students? All teachers need to be familiar with lists of resources that: ✔ are published by a recognized authority ✔ are compiled according to established criteria ✔ include materials in a variety of formats (print, nonprint, electronic media, etc.) Many lists of print and nonprint resources are available, including some that can be accessed via the Internet. The most useful are annotated with information such as grade or reading level, recommended or not recommended for purchase, curriculum connections, specific audience needs, etc. The school library media specialist will have some of these selection tools available in the library media center; others can be borrowed through inter-library loan from the School Library System of which the school is a member. Teachers will be seeking materials which are: • written/produced by people with in-depth knowledge of the subject • available in languages other than English, as needed • designed to help students create their own new information • designed to help students develop new learning strategies • relevant • current • age appropriate • authentic Working with other teachers and collaborating with library media specialists who are skilled in locating and selecting resources will result in assembling a collection of classroom instructional materials that assures students access to the variety of resources necessary to meet their needs.

Teachers were asked to suggest books that they felt were “appropriate and successful with readers in the K-12 curriculum.” These titles represent a sample of those submitted. The list is not inclusive, nor is it intended as a recommended reading list; rather, it is a list of books that English Language Arts teachers in New York State suggest have literary merit, are representative of the genres and are being read by students in today’s classrooms. Some are appropriate for all students, some for advanced readers. Titles include folklore, fantasy, science fiction, fiction, non-fiction, poetry and drama. Selected magazine titles are included in recognition of the importance of using magazines to meet informational and recreational needs. Following the New York State English Language Arts teacher selections are two lists—“Notable Children’s Books, 1995” and “Best Books for Young Adults, 1995” published by the American Library Association which are representative of the many distinguished published lists of books that teachers rely on as they help students select reading material. The concluding example of reading selections is provided by the New Standards Project “Performance Standards: English Language Arts.” The three lists suggest acceptable titles for student readers at elementary, middle, and high school levels.
