using speculative fiction to promote reading and launch learning

Focusing on the most compelling-and in many cases the most accessible-titles across this vast area of imaginative fantasy and science fiction literature and media, this book showcases instructional methods to build on existing interest in these genres and to cultivate creative and critical thinking. Presents ways for librarians connect to young patrons with enriching and entertaining workshop ideas; models deep engagement with reading and texts, focusing on leveraging high interest popular fiction and media to engage young people in critical thinking and reflection, thereby increasing their understanding of the world and themselves and stimulates children of various learning styles and age ranges to think creatively and critically through curricula that ties into STEM/STEAM learning
