Chapter 1: Why Do We Share Literature With Children? Summary : Dr. Lesesne and Dr. Perry explained 10 reasons why it’s important to share literature with children. First, because it’s fun and gives the reader an unconscious delight in reading. Literature also aids in language development and the acquisition of language. Developing empathetic bonds from books and reading fiction helps develop empathy in children. Books also allow children to read about a situation and learn about it without having to experience it for themselves in real life. Another reason we share literature is to support lifelong learners, whether it’s through series reading or serial reading, children can find their niche in how they go about finding books they prefer to read. Sharing literature can also support a child by reading a book through an autobiographical lens. They can see themselves in a book and are more likely to go back for another book they can relate to.

For example, you don’t want an 8 year old reading something a 16 year old would, but it might be okay for a 12 year old. The first division is for ages 0-8 which covers wordless picture books, easy readers, early chapter books, regular chapter books, and illustrated chapter books. Middle grade books are for ages 8-12 year olds. You must not get confused with middle grade books and middle school books. They are not the same. Middle school books are not a category of literature.

Dr. Perry gave an example of the book Lily and Dunkin that deals with transgender teens and is considered a mi...
