Abstract
The J.E. Moss Literacy Community worked together to develop teacher knowledge around text selection and evaluation by critically looking at elements of diversity, quality, and kid appeal for classroom titles. Books were analyzed through three lenses: readers, evaluative criteria, and instruction. Through this three-lens framework, teachers discovered a method to analyze and select texts that are appealing to readers, thought provoking for students, and inspirational for teachers.
