Reading Result of Chapter 1 “Valuing Literature for Children” of Children Literature in the Elementary School Book by Charlotte S. Huck, Susan Hepler, Janet Hickman
Literature is introduced to human since in the crib, such as babies listen to Mother Goose rhyme and nursery songs. Children’s literature is a part of the mainstream of all literature, whose source is life itself. Literature as the imaginative shaping of life and thought into the forms and structures of language. Literature illuminates life by shaping our insights.
There are two aspects to valuing literature for children. First personal values, that literature develops children’s imagination and helps them to consider nature, people, experience, or ideas in new ways. Literature also develops insight into human behavior and be present the universality of experience. Second is educational value, such as language development, reading, writing, critical thinking, literature across the curriculum and introducing our literary heritage.
Reading is the effective way to introduce literature for children. It’s positive influence on child language development. Vocabulary seems to grow children spend time with literature.
A good children’s book consist of traditional criteria (such element as plot, setting, theme, characterization, style, point of view, and format), special criteria (such as picture story books, biographies and informational books), and additional criteria. But in general, the crucial elements which develops a book for children, such as plot, setting, theme, characterization, style, point of view, illustration, format, and comparison to others.
