This online edition of Hooked on Books: Language Arts and Literature in Elementary Classrooms scaffolds preservice and practicing teachers, in the same way, that they should, in turn, teach elementary students. With double the content, literature suggestions, and resources for differentiated instruction, this 3rd edition of Hooked on Books was written to cover best practices and teacher competencies for language arts pedagogy. Our emphasis is on embedding instruction for K-12, university students, and teacher readers in classic and contemporary literature selections. Recognition has also been paid to recent demands of state teacher competency exams. Resources for exam preparation align with textbook chapters.
This edition includes teacher certification exam questions in the margins of each page aligned to each chapter. Throughout this textbook, linguistic, auditory, visual, and multimedia scaffolds attend to the Universal Design for Learning principles of engagement, representation, and action/expression. Above all, HOB introduces “New Literacies” theory and practice, technology-assisted remote teaching and learning, and multimodal literacy approaches. Hyperlinks for implementing effective differentiated instruction in inclusive classrooms provide WIDA resources for English learners' needs, CAST resources for Exceptional Student adaptations, as well as enrichment resources for advanced learners.

Dr. Towell is currently the Principle Investigator of the Reading Buddies research project, with A.D. Henderson University School and the Karen Slattery Educational Research Center in Boca Raton, Florida. Although she has published articles in professional journals such as The Reading Teacher and the Journal of Reading Education, this is her first textbook. Prior to teaching at the university level, Dr. Towell worked as a classroom teacher and Chapter I Reading Teacher for many years.
Dr. Philomena Marinaccio, (a.k.a. Dr. M.), is an Associate Professor for the Department of Teaching and Learning at Florida Atlantic University (FAU)’s College of Education (COE). She earned her Ph.D. at the University of Miami in Exceptional Student Education and Reading. Certified in Elementary Education, Reading K-12, Early Childhood, English Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) and Exceptional Student Education. She joined FAU in 2003 and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2009. Dr. Marinaccio has dedicated many summer days to collaborating with peers in efforts to carry out the objectives of combatting the “Summer Slide” in K-12 students. Dr. Marinaccio participated in the development of state exams in Reading and Language Arts. She also worked along peers to develop a Supervised Literacy Practicum course that is need for pre-service teachers to earn Florida State Reading Endorsement. This has resulted in preparing FAU’s pre-service teachers much more marketable, successful, and effective in the field of literacy.
Dr. Marinaccio has served as the principal investigator on myriad research interventions including extensive research of teacher expectations regarding literacy interventions for English Language Learners and students with special reading needs. Her research interest includes literacy needs of low socio-economic communities, English Language Learners and university and community partnerships. Dr. Marinaccio is currently researching “New Literacies”. Her study pertains to analyzing data collected on elementary school teachers’ opinions and perceptions of 21st-century literacy skills in order to inform literacy-teacher training that supports 21st century learning skills such as collaboration, critical thinking, and local and global communication. The focus behind her research on New Literacies theory includes recognizing the importance of multimodal texts which includes linguistic, visual, audio, spatial, gestural, multimedia texts to expand the definition the concepts of text, reader, and reading while advance remote teaching and learning.
Dr. M. is prominent in both undergraduate research and service across Florida Atlantic University. Dr. M. has developed a close relationship with the FAU office of Leadership Education and Development whose purpose is to scaffold service-learning activities. Dr. Marinaccio also serves in the Faculty Owl Leader Program, has presented at several student leadership conferences, such as We Lead: Diversity Matters Student Leadership Symposium, and trains volunteer university students as reading tutors for a summer camp for students in a neighboring community center since 2014. She has also served as an undergraduate research advisor since 2014 and serves as an evaluator for FAU’s Graduate Research Day. Most recently, One of Dr. M.’s research assistants received FAU’s Undergraduate Research Award. Dr. Marinaccio also nominated this student as a candidate and the eventual recipient of the Department of Teaching and Learning Honor’s Convocation Award scholarship representing Florida Atlantic University’s College of Education in 2016. Dr. Marinaccio research experiences resulted in several international and national conference presentations and poster sessions. Finally, Dr. M. has served with her fellow professors on the College of Education Faculty Assembly for the last 6 years as secretary, vice-president and two terms as president. As a member of the COE Faculty Assembly Executive Committee, she actively participates in attending University Faculty Senate meetings as a senator for the College of Education (COE) and represents COE faculty concerns and initiatives to administration in our college and across the university.
Although Dr. Marinaccio contributes to university, local, national, and international communities through teaching, scholarship, and service; teaching is her highest priority. She spends endless hours researching and writing to update curricula and implement dynamic modes of communication to ensure that her students become lifelong learners. She does not accept student work that is less than excellent and uses transactional teaching practices founded on student strengths and cultural capital, to scaffold the pedagogy of her teachers. She expects each of her students to excel and provides whatever level of scaffolding and guidance a student needs to help them to achieve excellence through lifelong reading and learning.
