[LM_NET] HIT: Bibliotherapy help, please! 6th grader.

[Robin Shtulman <shtulman@EDTHEWIZARD.COM>]

Hi, All:

Thanks to those who sent suggestions.  

I know that there are people out there who are "against" bibliotherapy, and I can 
appreciate that stance.  However, a colleague asked for help and I do want to 
answer her question -- her legitimate reference question -- not judge her.  I do 
not know the student, nor do I work in the school.  I do know the school & the 
school psychologist, however, and am sure that the child is already receiving lots 
of appropriate help.  The teacher is just looking for some good books that might 
also be of interest to the child.

Below are the titles that were suggested.

Do Not Pass Go by Kirpatrick Hill.  

Teaching with Books that Heal: Authentic Literature and Literacy Strategies to Help 
Children Cope with Everyday Problems
 
Helping Teens Cope: Resources for School Library Media Specialists and other Youth 
Workers

Schooled by Gordon Korman

Tracking Daddy Down by Marybeth Kelsey.  

Take care,
Robin
