How Children Respond to Literature

   The section, How Child Respond to Literature, was very insightful. I learned a lot about children and how they are able to respond back to the stories they hear based on the different type of child. Children all respond to literature differently based on their interest, age, background, and even culture. Because child all respond to books differently, most books are written for children appealing to adults. However, sometimes authors write books about children which will not be age appropriate for them. It is the teachers role to make sure the children are having a essential relationship with the stories they are reading. It's important to take into consideration the children's culture, beliefs, and values.

       After reading this section, it made me think a lot about as a future teacher, how will I be able to help my children the best way. Making sure I take the time like the book recommends and take into thought about the child's individual culture. How a child is able to react to a book is all different. No child will be able to respond the same.  As a teacher, I need to make sure I know how to help my children. Encouraging a meaningful relationship with books and literacy will be an important aspect in my classroom. I will make sure to use the zone of proximal development when having a child choose a book that will challenge them and make them better.
