Question 1
"Children's literature is defined as high-quality trade books for children from birth to early adolescence, covering topics of relevance and interest to children through prose and poetry, fiction and nonfiction. They are the books that children see as reflecting their life experiences, understandings, and emotions" - Short p.4
Short doesn't mention, and even excludes, some content and formats from her definition of children's literature. What do you agree or disagree with in Short's definition? Can you think of any factors or items that Short has left out of her definition that you think should be included? For example: comics, songs, or children's own writing? Any others?
Question 2
"Descriptions of children's literature in elementary schools and libraries typically focus on how to use children's books to teach something else. Literature is viewed as a material that is used to teach reading, math, science, social studies, or comprehension skills and writing strategies. We are often so focused on using literature to enhance academic learning that we lose sight of literature as having value in and of itself for children's lives (Wolf, Coats, Enciso, & Jenkins, 2011)." - Short p.6
Short provides a wide range of reasons to value children's literature. Which ones do you see as the most important and why? Are there any that you disagree with or that you would describe differently than Short did?
Question 3
"Books do change lives for the better, but you need to be a reader to engage children as readers [...]
If you are to immerse children in reading good books that add to their lives, you need to find those books for your life as well" - Short p.9
After explaining that we need to appreciate reading ourselves in order to share books with children, Short provides many reasons for why we, as adults, don't read. Which reasons apply to you? How likely is it that you will read for enjoyment this semester and/or in the future?
