Building upon the 2018 Preparing Teachers with Knowledge of Children's and Young Adult Literature position statement, Restorying Young Adult Literature spotlights how both teachers and students are using digital tools and technologies to re-read, re-write, and restory YAL today. Primarily, this text provides pedagogical approaches and resources for English language arts (ELA) educators to integrate shifts in textuality and the availability of participatory digital networks into their classroom. We propose Digital YAL and Digital YA Culture as conceptual tools for teachers to learn from the digital restorying practices of young people and fellow educators, and across the book, we demonstrate how teachers can restory text selection, digital access, white curricula, and multimodality in their classroom, doing so in pursuit of more just teaching and learning for today's digital era.

The digital era presents countless opportunities to read, write, and interpret young adult literature through a contemporary lens. Building upon NCTE's 2018 Preparing Teachers with Knowledge of Children's and Young Adult Literature position statement, the authors of this book spotlight how teachers and students can use digital tools and technologies to re-read, re-write, and restory young adult literature today. This book offers: Teaching approaches to integrate shifts in textuality in the ELA classroom; Helpful resources for using participatory digital networks in classrooms; and Strategies for restorying text selection with an eye toward multimodality, digital access, cultural diversity, and social justice. The authors propose digital young adult literature and digital young adult culture as conceptual tools from which teachers can learn effective digital restorying practices. The result is young adult literature instruction that is more engaging and just.
