It's true, literature can send powerful messages to its reader--as long as we find the right book. Just as you mentioned the beautiful genre of poetry, there are many genres out there than will be suit each individual...you just have to explore!Miss Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15614599988205675505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5839559372184490679.post-40402851667754806692011-10-19T18:56:09.109-07:002011-10-19T18:56:09.109-07:00This post focuses on not only providing what the c...This post focuses on not only providing what the children need through a story but also giving the children what they are interested in. The content may be important but if the students are not engaged then the point of reading time was to no avail. For example the a core moral of "The Tortoise and the Hare" is that over confidence and haste can lead to a person's own detriment. However if a child may not realize that if the characters are a tortoise and a hare. Maybe they might get the message more if the characters were actual people. The "Suzy" and the "Lucy" for example.A Teacher's Literary Blobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00480933090227094499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5839559372184490679.post-31762691082744198732011-10-19T17:33:54.433-07:002011-10-19T17:33:54.433-07:00Selecting a wide variety of books for the classroo...Selecting a wide variety of books for the classroom is definitely something that should be done. With group read-alouds of each book chosen, the teacher can get a feel about what excites the children and what just doesn't interest them. With consistent observation of their interests and skill levels, it should be easy to foster that love for reading.Autumn (It's Autumn's Life)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04370645239639985051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5839559372184490679.post-22343242881116699422011-10-19T13:48:54.987-07:002011-10-19T13:48:54.987-07:00I like how you talked about poetry and you connect...I like how you talked about poetry and you connection to it. Not many think of poetry as something that would interest children, but if you incorporate different types of literature including poetry a child might develop a love for it. Also finding literature that children can relate to and are interested in is so important. If children are not interested in the books and stories you present, they may develop a dislike for reading because they find it boring.Danihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16995636933523745025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5839559372184490679.post-84171285863250417162011-10-19T08:31:19.703-07:002011-10-19T08:31:19.703-07:00I think it is great that you focused on the attitu...I think it is great that you focused on the attitude of the child. It is so true that if they have a bad attitude towards literature then they will most likely stop reading. It will be so important for us as educators to foster a true love for reading in hopes that this will carry with the child all through school.Hollie Wilkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10411359788639297667noreply@blogger.com
