Chapter 4 Responding to Literature:
Chapter 4 Responding to Literature: In awareness of student’s development because they learn at different levels. Students learn and respond by socio-dramatic play and with peer groups. Young children are concrete operational and need concrete objects. Abstract thinking is difficult and the understanding to comprehend. Especially for science I believe students need to experiment with manipulatives to learn through hands-on-experiments. Teachers selecting books for the individual is DAP. The student’s cultural background affects the student’s perspective on the characters of stories. The teacher’s perspective makes a great difference in helping the student comprehend a story. Students learn about stories by teachers providing opportunities for students to respond orally with retelling, book talks, book discussions, and choral speaking.

I don't think it's hard for young people to comprehend, it just takes time. And if you talk to them like adults instead of like children, they pay more attention. I do agree, they like to use manipulatives and hands on activities, but not all children are alike. Some like to read and play alone, and some like to play with a bunch of friends and do art. Every child is different. Talking about books with the children to broaden their horizons helps, but they comprehend through their own life expieriences.
