One of my chief observations is that most K-12 school library/media collections have little, if any, texts (for students or teachers) about the media, let alone media literacy. That reason alone is why I authored two books. So here you will find links to existing web pages with specific book recommendations. Should you have questions, email me.
General media literacy book recommendations:
- Books for K-12 students (acquisitions for your student collection)
- Texts/Multimedia With Activities and Lesson Plans (resources for teachers)
- Books for educators (acquisitions for your professional collection)
- Newly published books posted here
