This chapter discusses how the important evidence-based practice of integrating authentic children's literature across literacy learning activities is a critical component of online teacher education. Rather than focus on a single course within an online literacy program, the authors consider the pedagogical practices threaded throughout an entire online program designed for literacy educators. The chapter demonstrates how, utilizing various digital tools, this practice is woven into the online program's theoretical foundations, methods, and capstone courses, ultimately modeling and supporting two literacy teachers to integrate authentic literature into their own literacy instruction and curriculum.
