What about your emotions? How do they help you to
understand what you are reading?
In Jane Yolans Oul Moon, a girl explores with her
father on a snowy night. She longs for this special night.
And shes amazed when she sees an owl. Have you felt
longing before? Amazement? Well, if you have,it helps you
have a sense of agreement. When we can put ourselves
inside a story, we can understand it better. Our brain tells
us, “Oh, this girls experience is a bit like mine. ” And
boom! We can relate to her. But this skill is not born with
us. So young kids have to learn it.
Pictures and images help young readers to understand
and recognize feelings. Readers feel joyful when seeing the
smiling faces of friends. They feel fear when turning the
page to find a scary monster. They are just pictures, but the
feelings are real. This skill, to understand the thinking and
feeling of others, is what researchers call “ theory of mind”.
For example, think about the faces of people and
animals in stories. The Big Bad Wolfs scary teeth. The‘o’
shape of a surprised characters mouth. Or big, wide eyes
like the girl in Owl Moon. By noticing the faces, readers
can start to figure out what it feels like to be that character.
And that helps to figure out how people feel and think in
real life.
But most young readers dont go into deep, scary
woods. And some may not go to the beach or play
basketball. In the book Yo! Yes? two kids meet and play
ball. The kids start the story on opposite pages. But as the
story goes on, they get closer until they are together. Some
young readers might not play basketball, but they can read
the clues on the page to figure out how the kids are feeling.
And some readers might not like the game, but they can feel
excited for the characters because of how the characters look
and move.
