In How A Book Is Made, students will meet popular children's author Liz Rosenberg and learn about the entire publishing process from the conception of an author's idea for a book right up to the book's sale. Following our author through the various stages of the creative process -- prewriting, drafting, revising and collaborating with an illustrator -- students will get a glimpse of the writer's mind at work. Students will also visit a variety of other people who play important roles in bringing children's books to the public, including literary agents, editors and printers. How A Book Is Made gives students a rare and fascinating behind-the-scenes look at children's book publishing. Part of the multivolume Reading for Children DVD Series. A Teacher's Guide is included and available online.

 

"As high-stakes testing on reading skills increases so does the need for support materials. This is an excellent resource to meet that need.…Key concepts are reinforced, reviewed, and shown in use…These clear, well-organized productions will happily find a home in all elementary school libraries."- School Library Journal (Nov 2004)

"In this video series, students are taught the skills basic to becoming a good reader..."- Teacher Librarian (Feb 2005)

"…material is neatly compartmentalized so starting and stopping the action would work well…Recommended."- Library Media Connection (Mar 2005)
