The NCTE National Council of Teachers of English Orbis Pictus - TopicsExpress



          

The NCTE National Council of Teachers of English Orbis Pictus Award was established in 1989 for promoting and recognizing excellence in the writing of nonfiction for children. The name Orbis Pictus, commemorates the work of Johannes Amos Comenius, Orbis Pictus—The World in Pictures (1657), considered to be the first book actually planned for children. The award is presented annually by the Orbis Pictus Committee Chair at the Books for Children Luncheon during the NCTE Annual Convention. The award-winning author and/or illustrator will be a featured speaker at the luncheon. Although only one title is singled out for the award, up to five Honor Books are also recognized. Eight additional recommended books can be named.
