Abstract
This study describes efforts instructors made to restructure a required children’s literature class. Researchers observed a majority of the students were not engaged in the content of the class. This became more evident when the course shifted to an online format due to the pandemic.
Engaging early learners into successful literacy using excellent children’s books is a key resource for new and veteran teachers. We noted a trend of disinterest, a tendency towards cheating and the use of internet resources to complete assignments instead of real children’s books. How do we reach the new generation of preservice teachers?
