Are they all created equally? How important is it to read quality literature?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quality literature opens your child\u2019s world, inspires their imagination, and helps them learn grammar, sentence structure, vocabulary, art appreciation, and social and emotional skills. They can also learn facts in school subjects like history, science, geography, math, social studies, and so much more!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Is Quality Literature?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What exactly is quality literature? This might conjure up ideas of Shakespeare or famous poets, but thankfully, these are not the only kinds of quality literature. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1529 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/penguincrossingacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/pexels-boris-pavlikovsky-7714361-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/penguincrossingacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/pexels-boris-pavlikovsky-7714361-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/penguincrossingacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/pexels-boris-pavlikovsky-7714361-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/penguincrossingacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/pexels-boris-pavlikovsky-7714361-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/penguincrossingacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/pexels-boris-pavlikovsky-7714361-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/penguincrossingacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/pexels-boris-pavlikovsky-7714361-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/penguincrossingacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/pexels-boris-pavlikovsky-7714361-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Literature is like eating a meal. While dessert isn\u2019t off limits, most of the meal should be something nutritious, like protein, fruits, veggies, dairy, and grains. Quality literature is like the nutritious part of the meal: you want your child to be reading (consuming) the best literature to grow their minds, imaginations, and educational skills.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A book would be considered quality literature if it includes all (or most) of the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well-written, interesting stories: Some stories are too simple, don\u2019t make much sense, or don\u2019t provide a positive message.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Age-appropriate words: Most of the words should be understandable to a child, but quality literature will stretch a child\u2019s vocabulary just a little bit.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An overall positive message or conflict is resolved: Quality literature often has role models, teaches life lessons or positive character quality, or has inspiring themes. Conflict resolution is also important.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Illustrations are detailed: Interesting illustrations draw children back to the book because they want to look at the pictures. Detailed illustrations allow you to discuss the pictures, which further expose your child to language understanding.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Has won an award: Outstanding books are awarded every year. Some popular awards are the Randolph Caldecott Medal, Coretta Scott King Book Awards and Pura Belpr\u00e9 Award.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In summary, if you (or your child!) want to read the book more than once, it\u2019s likely quality literature.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">not<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> quality literature? Here are a few things to avoid when choosing books:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trending animated characters: Whether it\u2019s talking trains, classic princesses, or the next trending movie or TV show, these are not quality literature. Children may want to read these books more than once, but it\u2019s not because the literature is quality.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Graphic novels: While not all graphic novels are bad, these can be a crutch that cripples children from making the transition from picture books to chapter books. The plot lines are often shallow and feel too much like a cartoon to be taken seriously.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These types of books would be the \u201cdesserts\u201d of literature: they are fine in moderation but shouldn\u2019t be a child\u2019s only exposure to reading.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finding Quality Literature<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s easy to find quality literature for story time!

If your child is older, ask them what sound it makes. You can also tell young children about colors, shapes, and numbers, as well as spacial concepts like up and down, in and out, and over and under.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Older children can also make social and emotional connections through stories. If a picture shows a character who is sad, happy, or surprised, ask them why they might feel that way.

Your library may also have children\u2019s books that read the book aloud to your child.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While these are better than iPads or television shows, podcasts and audiobooks aren\u2019t the same as reading with your child. This is because the emotional bonding over books is lacking; a stranger is reading to your child.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This doesn\u2019t mean that you can never let your child listen to a podcast or audiobook, but if you want your child to fall in love with reading, it\u2019s vital to take the time to read with your child.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Reading quality literature is an enjoyable, bonding experience for you and your child.
