여름 방학 계획 9

여름 방학 계획 9

여름 방학 동안 우리 자녀들이 읽을만한 책들의 리스트를 몇 주동안 소개하고 있는데, 이번 주에는 지난 호에 이어 초등학교 고학년 학생들로부터 중학교 학생들이 읽으면 좋을 책들을 소개한다.

이 리스트는 1923년 처음 시작한 이래 매년 그 전해에 출판된 아동 도서들 중의 백미를 뽑아 시상하는 뉴베리 어워드를 받은 책들로 두번째 리스트인데, 전체 목록은
http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/alsc/awardsgrants/bookmedia/newberymedal/newberywinners/medalwinners.cfm을 접속해 찾아 볼 수 있다.

지난 호에서 말씀드린 것처럼 이 책들을 자녀들에게 읽도록 권유할 때, 무조건 읽기를 강권하기 보다는 부모님께서 먼저 읽은 후에 또는 최소한 온 라인에서 그 책들의 개요를 파악하신 후에 이러 이러한 책인데 한 번 읽어 보겠니라고 권유한다면, 보다 더 알찬 소기의 목적을 달성할 수 있을 것이다.

물론 자녀가 책을 읽은 후에 같이 마주 앉아 흥미 있었던 부분이나 이해가 잘 안되는 부분들에 대해 서로 이야기를 나누어 본다면, 자녀와의 공감대를 형성하는 좋은 기회도 될 것이다.
