How children respond to literature.

How children Respond to literature :


  • Children respond based on their background and experiences
                     - Connecting text to text
                     - Connecting Text to world
                     - Connecting text to self

Teachers should be encouraging , nurturing, and deepening their students' responses to books. One way to do this is to give children ample opportunity to discuss the books they are reading with other children. 

  • Cultural Influences
                     -Where they are from
                     -Family background
                     -Social status 


Teachers must investigate the social-cultural process of learning to discover a meaningful classroom learning interactions for students who are not members of any main stream community.
