MOTIVATION
Lesson 3Selecting Books for
Children
A good elementary school reading
Program should provide for two
Inseparable and interdependent ideas.
(1)The development of reading
Skills, and (2) The encouragement of
reading pleasures.
The constant purpose of a teacher
is to interest children in a varied
and well-balanced program of reading.
Books are a source of information, comfort and
pleasure for people who know how to use them and how to
choose them.
Two facts about books• A book is a good book for children
only when he enjoys it.
• A book is a poor book for children,Even when adults rate it as a classic,
If children are not able to read it and enjoy it.
Basic needs of Children as well
as adults are:
1. Material SecurityIt embraces everything that gives him a sense of comfort and well-
being.
2. Emotional SecurityThe need to love and to be
beloved.
3. Intellectual Security The need to know things
more accurately.
4. The need to achieveTo do or be something
worthy of respect.
5. Need for recreation and diversion
Fairy tales, stories of adventure and romance are example . Books of laughter
help dissolve fear and tensions.
6. Need to belong To be a part of a group.
Stories about family life, the school, his community, his
country and later about the world about him.
Criteria for Books Selection:
I. Fiction
1. ThemeThe theme of a book reveals the author’s purpose in writing the story. It is the idea of the story, the meaning behind the story
2. PlotThe plot is the plan of the story; it tells what the characters do
and what happens to them. It is the action of a story built around
a theme.
3. Quality of Content Aside from the plot, the quality of the content of the book must be
examined. The story must be worth telling or reading.
4. Characterization The characters in the story whether they are people or
animals should be convincingly real and lifelike.
5. StyleThe style of a book refers to the manner or the way the author
has written it. Every author has his own individual style.
6. FormatThe physical aspects of the book
must also be considered.
7. IllustrationsThe illustrations for a picture book are as important as the text. Children prefer colored
picture, but some of the most popular picture books and
storybooks are black and white. The illustration should be appropriate to the text.
The text is the author’s expression of life as he sees it
and given in a form that children can understand and share.
8. Other Considerations* How does this book compare with other books on the same
subject?* How does it compare with other
books written by the same author?
* Does it appeal only to a few children or does it have an
appeal to a greater number of children?
II. BiographiesThe same criteria for fiction
books may be used for biographies .
* A Biography should be true to all the facts known about the subject’s
life* The hero of a biography must be a real-life here, with real-life faults,
weaknesses and doubts.
* Biography for children should be about heroes of action and deeds.
III. Informational BooksBooks that are primarily concerned
with facts should be accurate, easy to read and understand, adequately
treated, well presented in such a way that it will be easy to find what one is
looking for.
