EARLY FICTION (7-11)


By now children with experience in books may have learnt to recognize the typical convections of early fiction so that they will expect certain stereotyped characters to behave in certain ways. Perhaps the most typical sort of reading for this age-group is the world of domestic adventure usually set in a world of reality but full of unreal fantasies. These adventures often involve heroic children who act without any real adult help.

Books for these children should normally posses simple vocabulary, short and clear sentences and concrete plots since children’s concentration will still be limited.

JUVENILE COMICS

Books written about children’s literature often omit any reference to comics which are highly relevant. Their kind of humour and even their violence can be enjoyed without worries since it never really seems to hurt.

It’s at this stage too that separate publications begin for boys and girls, now that readers are becoming more interested in establishing their sexual identity.

For all young people who are beginning to grow away from their previous fantasies, but who still want to preserve some of their former sensation of power in the imagination, comics can be a very useful fall-back.
