This article focuses on Russian children's literature in Italy in the last 30 years. The first part provides a brief historical overview of Russian children's literature in Italy starting from the ...20th century. The aim is to identify the best-known authors and the first research dedicated to them in the field of Slavistics and pedagogy. The second part focuses on the presence of Russian children's literature in Italy since the 1990s. The article accounts for both the critical studies on Russian children's literature and the corpus of texts that have arrived in Italy in the form of translation, adaptation, or rewriting. Some constants are identified, but also important novelties are underlined: the short-lived fortune of certain genres, such as science fiction, and the appearance on the market of authors who are in between adult and children's literature. Keywords Russian Children's Literature; Russian Classics; Fairy Tales; Adaptation; Translation.
La lectura expresiva es la actividad apasionante de dar vida y forma oral a un mensaje escrito. Se trata de una actividad de alto valor educativo y cultural que requiere un proceso intelectual y ...comunicativo complejo en el que intervienen destrezas técnicas para sonorizar el texto, interpretarlo y comunicarlo de manera expresiva y matizada. Además, se requieren ciertas estrategias metacognitivas y emocionales sin las cuales no es posible realizar la tarea de modo adecuado. El objetivo de este trabajo es realizar una revisión teórica e interdisciplinar del conjunto de destrezas principales que conforman la competencia lectora con el propósito de presentar de forma estructurada las conexiones que existen entre la lectura comprensiva y la lectura expresiva. La meta final es proporcionar orientaciones al profesorado en su labor de enseñar y evaluar la lectura expresiva e impulsar al alumnado de manera motivadora hacia una lectura en voz alta eficaz e incluso hacia lo que podríamos llamar una lectura artística.
At the heart of some of the most beloved children’s novels is a passionate discussion about discipline, love, and the changing role of girls in the twentieth century. Joe Sutliff Sanders traces this ...debate as it began in the sentimental tales of the mid-nineteenth century and continued in the classic orphan girl novels of Louisa May Alcott, Frances Hodgson Burnett, L. M. Montgomery, and other writers still popular today.
Domestic novels published between 1850 and 1880 argued that a kind of discipline that emphasized love was the most effective and moral form. These were the first best sellers in American fiction, and by reimagining discipline as a technique of the heart—rather than of the whip—they ensured their protagonists a secure, if limited, claim on power. This same ideal was adapted by women authors in the early twentieth century, who transformed the sentimental motifs of domestic novels into the orphan girl story made popular in such novels as Anne of Green Gables and Pollyanna.
Through close readings of nine of the most influential orphan girl novels, Sanders provides a seamless historical narrative of American children’s literature and gender from 1850 until 1923. He follows his insightful literary analysis with chapters on sympathy and motherhood, two themes central to both American and children’s literature, and concludes with a discussion of contemporary ideas about discipline, abuse, and gender.
Disciplining Girls writes an important chapter in the history of American, women’s, and children’s literature, enriching previous work about the history of discipline in America.
This study examines the practices of assessment of young children's inferential abilities during the comprehension of narratives. The objective is to question the presence of developmental ...differences that are classically reported between different ages assessed using the same story. Rather than only following this same perspective, this study proposes to investigate the relevance of adjusting to the students' school level to accurately assess their inferential abilities. The inferential abilities of 348 students aged five to eight years old were surveyed, by either using a story that corresponded to their grade level, or using a story from a grade level different from theirs (i.e., higher or lower). The results show that when students at different grade levels are assessed using the same material, they show differences in achievement. However, when students are assessed with a grade-adjusted narrative, no differences are observed between the age groups studied.
