Valuing Children’s
        Literature
2
January
29, 2012 is the value of children’s literature?
  What
 • John Cech: Inspiring Children With
   Words [Scroll down to see the article]
   –“Children‟s books represent our first
    encounters with literature, in which
    we hear words used beautifully and
    tune ourselves to the rhythms of our
    language. One can‟t overstate the
    value of children's literature. Millions
    of people who will never read Tolstoy
    or Shakespeare will read Charlotte‟s
    Web - and never forget the experience.
    Einstein kept a volume of Grimm‟s
    Fairy Tales on his night table
    throughout his life because he said
    they sparked his imagination.”

What is the function of literature?
• Nina Bawden:




                           From the inaugural Dorothy Briley
                           Lecture, delivered at the third IBBY
                           Regional Conference in
                           Madison, Wisconsin, on October 8, 1999

  Why do         children read?
 • Many reasons:
       – reading can provide a safe environment
         for experimenting with moral and
         psychological risk.
       – reading may provide a safe haven in a
         world of real-life risk.
 • Either way, the reader needs to
   feel a sense of control over his or
   her reading matter
   •     Margaret Mackey, “Risk, Safety, and
         Control in Young People's Reading
         Experiences.” School Libraries Worldwide
         9 no1 50-63 Ja 2003

  Controlling
29, 2012               reading
 • Margaret Mackey:
    –“. . . too many adults want children
     to read, and read with
     enthusiasm, without conceding to
     them any vestige of the sense of real
     control that is one of the social and
     psychological triumphs of reading.
     Children, who are trying to “win at
     growing up” as Beverly Cleary‟s
     (1984, p. 182) Ramona so succinctly
     expresses the challenge, are being
     given a false passport that lets them
     only into a fenced-off field.”
       •   “Risk, Safety, and Control in Young People's
           Reading Experiences.”

January
29,A Canadian’s
   2012            view
• Russell Smith, a young
  Canadian novelist:
  – “. . . what turns off young
    readers? A moral approach to
    literature. A lack of clever
    wickedness. And an outdated
    belief in an outdated version of
    Canada. . . . Books that are good
    for you. Canadian cultural
    nationalism is the literary
    equivalent of Sunday school, and    Quoted in Mackey,
                                        “Risk, Safety, and
    young people won‟t sit through      Control in Young
    it.”                                People's Reading
                                        Experiences.”

What does literature teach?
• Pauline Davey Zeece:
9

Does educational value “cancel out” the
personal value of a book?
• Comment on Amazon.com:
   – “. . . instead of intimidating a young
     audience away, Harry Potter is
     showing children as young as 8 that
     reading is one of the most wonderful
     pastimes available to them. It's
     working! Please, as
     educators, parents, and
     librarians, encourage that. I read those
     „classics‟ in Middle School, Johnny
     Tremain and The Moon is Down
     almost lost me as a reader forever.
     They were dry and horrible and full of
     educational value.”
      • Spotlight Reviews: Literature Guide:
        Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Grades 4-8)

Valuing Children's Literature

  • 1. ELE 616 Readings and Research in Children‟s Literature Spring 2012 Valuing Children’s Literature
  • 2. 2 January 29, 2012 is the value of children’s literature? What • John Cech: Inspiring Children With Words [Scroll down to see the article] –“Children‟s books represent our first encounters with literature, in which we hear words used beautifully and tune ourselves to the rhythms of our language. One can‟t overstate the value of children's literature. Millions of people who will never read Tolstoy or Shakespeare will read Charlotte‟s Web - and never forget the experience. Einstein kept a volume of Grimm‟s Fairy Tales on his night table throughout his life because he said they sparked his imagination.”
  • 3. 3 What is the function of literature? • Nina Bawden: From the inaugural Dorothy Briley Lecture, delivered at the third IBBY Regional Conference in Madison, Wisconsin, on October 8, 1999
  • 4. 4 January 29, 2012 Why do children read? • Many reasons: – reading can provide a safe environment for experimenting with moral and psychological risk. – reading may provide a safe haven in a world of real-life risk. • Either way, the reader needs to feel a sense of control over his or her reading matter • Margaret Mackey, “Risk, Safety, and Control in Young People's Reading Experiences.” School Libraries Worldwide 9 no1 50-63 Ja 2003
  • 5. 5 January Controlling 29, 2012 reading • Margaret Mackey: –“. . . too many adults want children to read, and read with enthusiasm, without conceding to them any vestige of the sense of real control that is one of the social and psychological triumphs of reading. Children, who are trying to “win at growing up” as Beverly Cleary‟s (1984, p. 182) Ramona so succinctly expresses the challenge, are being given a false passport that lets them only into a fenced-off field.” • “Risk, Safety, and Control in Young People's Reading Experiences.”
  • 6. 6 January 29,A Canadian’s 2012 view • Russell Smith, a young Canadian novelist: – “. . . what turns off young readers? A moral approach to literature. A lack of clever wickedness. And an outdated belief in an outdated version of Canada. . . . Books that are good for you. Canadian cultural nationalism is the literary equivalent of Sunday school, and Quoted in Mackey, “Risk, Safety, and young people won‟t sit through Control in Young it.” People's Reading Experiences.”
  • 7. 7 January Valuing Children's 29,Another 2012 Canadian Literature viewpoint
  • 8. 8 What does literature teach? • Pauline Davey Zeece:
  • 9. 9 Does educational value “cancel out” the personal value of a book? • Comment on Amazon.com: – “. . . instead of intimidating a young audience away, Harry Potter is showing children as young as 8 that reading is one of the most wonderful pastimes available to them. It's working! Please, as educators, parents, and librarians, encourage that. I read those „classics‟ in Middle School, Johnny Tremain and The Moon is Down almost lost me as a reader forever. They were dry and horrible and full of educational value.” • Spotlight Reviews: Literature Guide: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Grades 4-8)
