Reading used to be boring and passive since almost all of them came from textbook. We are assigned by school to read certain books. However, teachers don’t pay attention to the free-reading. In this class, I contact with different genres and put literature as part of my life. I realize reading is a window, which let me experience other people’s life and all the fancy stuff. I live in a similar life day by day, while books enable me to know that there are so many people spend different courses of life from mine. American born Chinese suffer culture conflict during their development; autistic children yearn for understanding from others; some kids are trapped in a body of wrong sex. All of those experience open the door for me to the new world. As a future teacher, I will emphasize the importance of literature in children’s development. I think every teacher no matter what subject he/she teaches should encourage students to read relevant books except textbook. Classified books into different genres is a good way to help students choose their interests, since they may feel that there is no way to begin reading. Group sharing is another method which I will definitely put into my future practice. When students discuss their own books, it’s very easy to arouse others’ interest toward the book. They may resonate with the book content and with peers’ experience. Moreover, teacher should get involve in reading process. In addition to set a good example, children may feel that the teacher is mutual developing with them. My favorite genre is reading as a mirror, because I can find resonance with the author and content. I feel someone understand me and I’m not alone. I don’t like the category of sports, action and survival, since they are a little bit boring for me. My favorite book among these is July and Ansheng. The movie called soulmate in English is even better than the book. I highly recommend this movie. (I haven’t find the free version in America) I find my shadow from the two girls. The plot and emotion in the movie is so touching. I watched twice and cried several times.

I read 13 books this semester in EDT423 class. All of these books come from different genres. For me, however, I category them by the reader’s age. I believe picking books for children should choose those are suitable for their age to maintain their love for books and maximize the value of books. The Adventures of Beekle is a picture book with adorable painting and pure story, which accords with young children’s innocent. They will be attracted by the colorful and vivid imagines in this book, experiencing the wonderful friendship. The little girl at the window was written by a Japanese writer who was influenced by her headmaster in primary school. Children may resonate with the Doudou’s experience in this book. I put Stand strong in the third place, because I think children may suffer bullying no matter at what ages. This book provides solutions and experience for youth to fight with bullying, developing a strong heart. I Survived, Seedfolks, and Uglies all contain interesting plot lines. They are the best for youth to relax in spare time. Teenagers in the period of adolescence begin to reveal their own personality and characteristics. American Born Chinese, I am Jazz, The Reason I jump, and Because I Am Furniture enable children to think about different people around them and form a healthy attitude toward themselves and others. Older children may better understand the meaning behind the plot, so I put Little prince, July and Ansheng, and Great Gatsby at the last three positions.
