Green Literacy Handbook, The

Introducing Green Literacy, a way of teaching that cultivates critical thinking, reading, and writing about environmentalism through children’s books and digital media. Students analyze multiple perspectives, engage in hands-on activities, and come to a deeper understanding of environmental issues. Supported through teaching models and thematic units, educators empower themselves and their students to develop environmental awareness toward sustainable change.

K–5 teachers can use this book to:

• Explore environmental justice issues using familiar stories and digital tools to spark curiosity and new ideas with reading, writing, and drama strategies for engagement
• Engage students with activities on weather, ecosystems, and how nature connects individuals and develops systems thinking
• Encourage students to see environmental issues from all angles to deepen their understanding and empathy and move them toward sustainable change
• Be empowered with seed ideas about environmental issues, including classroom engagement strategies and professional development opportunities
