Incorporating fun into education greatly aids in teaching children, making learning more attractive. While everyone recognizes fun, the same can’t be said about literature. What qualifies as accomplished writing? With children, we might wonder if there’s a form of writing that truly counts as literature. Can children engage with language that meets literary standards? The answer is undoubtedly yes! Unfortunately, such opportunities are far too rare.
Classic titles like Alice in Wonderland, Peter Rabbit, and The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe are pillars of children’s literature. Once books for reading, they’ve become films and DVDs. Originally, these stories used words to introduce children to expressive language and spark their imagination. Now, they’re often reduced to images and sound effects. It doesn’t take a genius to see that modern children might be missing out on an important aspect of development. How many children today experience a well-told story solely through spoken word, becoming enchanted by the narrative? Those who do are the fortunate ones, likely to express themselves well and appreciate the joy of a good book later in life.
Consider a line from Eloise, the Witch and the Wordsmith, a recently released multimedia story emphasizing narrative with some illustrations. The spoken word is central in this two-hour experience, keeping children engaged without losing focus. Here’s the sentence:
The Witch was so consumed with thoughts of conquering the Wordsmith that she didn’t hear the soft hum of the Fireflies, which swelled around her, exploding from hidden places, surrounding her with a brilliant, scalding light. She cringed, shrinking from her former grandeur, and collapsed, drained of power and overcome by defeat.
This may be the longest sentence in the story, introducing a variety of uncommon words. Difficult words are spread throughout the Eloise adventure, with over a hundred terms children might be unfamiliar with.
The key question is whether using more complex language in an engaging story poses challenges for children or if they naturally absorb it. Fortunately, it’s the latter. In exciting stories, children embrace rich, descriptive language, benefiting enormously as their imagination brings the scenes to life. They’ll experience the joys of language, vital to education and human learning history. Discussing the language further enhances the benefits.
Fun makes literature accessible to children, a truth recognized for generations. This fun should be inherent in the story and extend beyond it. A great story often reflects life in some way, a treasure of immense value. Sadly, this treasure is becoming less accessible today. Children deserve better?"educational experiences that don’t feel like work. Isn’t that the best kind of learning?
