As a teacher, I’ve gained a whole new level of understanding about the reader’s experience. I’m sure we’ve all experienced this subjectivity of reading, how one person can have a completely different reaction to a book than another.
I’ve decided to reblog it here.Ī reader’s experience, even with a shared text, is dependent on so many things, including background knowledge, interest in the subject, interest in reading in general, and engagement in the moment. The post seems to have resonated with people, and I think it’s an important issue now that young people are back in school. I recently revised that presentation for a blog post for in Kid Lit. Each of the presenters was asked to talk about the reader’s experience.
I originally delivered a version of this post at the Avon Free Public Library’s Local Author Festival in June.
