Giving children access to literature is important.Educators,parents,and community members should help students develop a passion for reading.Not only is reading literature important in developing cognitive(认知的)skills to be able to succeed in a school or work setting,but it is valuable for other reasons as well.
First,children's literature provides students with the opportunity to respond to literature and develop their own opinions about the topic.Quality literature allows for some differences in opinion. One reader may take something completely different away from the piece of literature than the next reader,based on the two personal viewpoints and experiences.
Besides,children's literature provides a path for students to learn about their own cultural heritage(遗产)and the cultures of other people.However,when teaching students about the cultural heritage of others,one should be very careful in selecting which books to recommend.There are stories which contain inaccuracies about certain cultural groups.However,there are also children's books that are more accurate in teaching the cultural differences of others.
Undoubtedly children's literature also helps students develop emotional intelligence.Stories have the power to promote emotional and moral development.Children's literature contains many moments of crisis(危机),when characters make moral decisions and consider the reasons for their decisions,an important skill for children to see modeled.It also encourages students to think deeper about their own feelings.
Children's literature also encourages creativity.It plays an important role in nurturing(培育) and expanding the imagination.For instance,The House in the Night describes the creativity a young girl has in her dreams at night,as she flies about the dark neighborhood on the wings of a bird.
Children's literature promotes the development of students internal imaginations. Children's literature should be attached importance to because it promotes personality and social development.Children are easily influenced by others,and children's literature can help them develop into caring,intelligent,and friendly people.Being able to understand other people's viewpoints and to not be selfish are important skills that adults must nurture in children. Children's literature can promote social development by encouraging students to accept other people and their differences,thus becoming considerate people and growing into quality citizens.
Finally,children's literature is invaluable in that it is a timeless tradition,one in which books are the major means of passing on our literary heritage from one generation to the next.For a younger audience,children can build their cognitive and language skills through exposure to Mother Goose rhymes.Children in older grades can learn to appreciate the classic plays and messages of William Shakespeare in picture books.Children are only young for a short time,and so we must give them access to a basic literary heritage of timeless books.Quality children's literature has the great power to attract audiences for many generations.
Children's literature is important in both the school setting and at home.Teachers and parents should both be able to distinguish between quality and ordinary literature,in order to give students access to the best books to encourage these important values of literature.

However important we may regard school life to be, there is always the fact that children spend more time at home than in the classroom. Therefore, the teacher should realize that parents have a great influence on their children. Parents can become strong allies (助手) of the school or they can get in the way of the school education.
Experts have realized the need to keep parents informed of the newer methods used in schools. Many headmasters have conducted workshops explaining such matters as the reading readiness, program writing and mathematics to parents.
Moreover, the classroom teacher, with the permission of the supervisors(管理者), can also play an important part in giving more knowledge to reporting pupils progress, teachers can help parents a lot in educating their children and parents can give much help to teachers.
Suppose that a father has been drilling Junior arithmetic lessons night after night. In a friendly talk between the teacher and the father, the teacher can help the parent to make Junior interested in it. He might be persuaded to let Junior join in discussing the family budget, buying the food, using a ruler or measuring cup at home, setting the clock, calculating the distance of a trip and engaging in scores of other activities that have a mathematical basis.
If the father follows the advice, it is reasonable to say that he will soon realize that his son is making satisfactory progress in mathematics, and at the same time, enjoying the work.
Too often, however, teachers’ talks with parents are devoted to small accounts of children’s misdemeanors(不良行为). They talk about the laziness and poor work habits of the children.
What is needed is a more creative way in which the teacher, as an adviser, plants ideas in parents’ minds to make sure that the child spends the many hours out of the classroom learning something useful.
In this way the school and the home join forces in educating children.
