Welcome!

Welcome as I start investigating Children's literature!

       I am a senior Early Childhood major and looking forward to starting my career. I have three older sisters, I am the youngest child! Growing up, and watching my sisters they read older literature due to their ages. Of course, I wanted to read those books like Harry Potter but couldn't because I was 5 and my sisters were 12. I didn't read much but when I did I loved to read picture books like Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and pattern books like Madeline. My dream career is to my a child life specialist at a children's hospital. I want to help children learn who can not be at school, play is an important way of doing that. Next, to play, reading is next to that; in my mind.  I would like to find out information based on these questions like; what books are appropriate books based on a child's cognitive development and why? which children's literature is appropriate for different teaching practices like a read-aloud? how can children learn things like reading and speaking from children's literature?


We will be going different cases (books) and looking at them closly to see what literature is good and bad.
