Elizabeth McCallum Marlow, MA, taught high school and college English for thirty-five years. Over the years, she developed effective approaches for teaching teenagers to love literature. Elizabeth has written the first in a series of high school textbooks on teaching literature in order to help other teachers benefit from reviewing an experienced teachers methodology. She hopes to encourage English teachers to emphasize two basic reasons for teaching literature: It is instructional and delightful. She emphasizes the importance of fostering a classroom environment that encourages student participation and promotes enjoyment. She believes it is mandatory to cover literary works in depth in order that young people can absorb writers wisdom; students need to encounter difficult circumstances depicted in fiction so that they can apply sound moral solutions to problems they will face in their own lives. With her daughter Jane Scott, Elizabeth co-authored The Book Tree, a reference guide that helps young people find books that encourage them to cultivate a life-long habit of reading.
