Do you have a child aged 5-7? If so please help me!!?

Question

Hey, I am a trainee teacher in y second year at university and have been given the task to write a children's book.

My book is for children aged 5-7 and part of the process for this project is to have input from children.

If you have a child, or a younger brother/sister than pretty please can you help me by asking them the following questions and noting their answers.

1. Do you have a favourite book?

2. What is the main chracter like?

3. What is the story about?

4. Which part of the story do you like best?

5. What types of books do you enjoy reading?

6. If I was to write a book what type of things do you think I should include?

These are the main questions, however I need as much info as possible so you will need to use prompts to develop the conversation.

For example: I like books that are funny.... do you like funny books? etc etc

Basically whatever else you can think of!

Thank you all so much! x*x

Answer 5

I have a 5 year old son, I'll ask him and get back to you!

I asked his 6 yr old friend too and sorry the anwers aren't very good, they're too busy playing at the moment!. She said HSM/Troy! And he said the disney stories, in particular sleeping beauty.

I think you can't go wrong with a good old fashioned fairy tale for kids of this age. Make it magical, include the goody, the baddie and give it a happy ending, kids just love that.

Answer 6

I had to write a book for a class I was working with last year. Its harder then it sounds! My son is 6 and these are his answers to your questions....

My favorite book is Little Bear becomes a Big Brother

The main character is Little Bear. He is a bear and has lots of friends.

The story is about Little Bears mom and dad having a baby. Little bear is the babies big brother. He gets to help his mom and dad take care of his baby sister.

My favourite part of the story is when the baby is crying and Little Bear gives her a toy and she stops.

I like to read books about cars, little bear, weather and my phonics books.

I think you should write a book about kids hurting their friends. There is a boy in my class that pushes me sometimes and Mrs. *Teacher says that he doesn't understand that it is not okay to push people.

If you were to write a book based on school yard minor bullying with characters based on your target audiences age I think it would be very effected. Some lead in questions could be:

I don't like it when my friends push me... do your friends push you?

What should we do if a friend is hurting us?

My friends hurt my feelings when they call me names... what are some ways that your friends may hurt your feelings?

Good luck with your story book!!!!
