"Kids are often gifted books for Christmas, but the trick is to get them to
read them!
No one likes nagging their kids to read, though we know reading is crucial to
their critical and literacy development.
But what do they think about books and reading over the summer? Kids’ voices
are often overlooked when it comes to cultural criticism.
For the past two years, I have been facilitating a children’s book club. In our
most recent session, I asked the participants – aged 9 to 11 – to share their
summer reading recommendations.
My research has found that kids respond positively to non-fiction books in
social reading environments. Reading non-fiction impacts positively on their
civic and critical literacy. So, we focused on non-fiction recommendations.
These tips – straight from the kids themselves – might help adult readers to
know what books to buy this Christmas, or to hunt out at the library over
summer."
Share and enjoy,
