Schoolchildren visit literature class
By Sarah Davis Kansan staff writer
Twenty-one first- and second-graders, clutching their favorite books, found spaces on the bright orange carpet among 13 KU students.
The Honors Tutorial in Children's Literature invited the children from Grant Elementary School on Friday to Nunemaker Hall.
"We're sharing the love of children's literature," said Edwyna Gilbert, associate dean of liberal arts and sciences, who teaches the class. "In our class, we're trying to see these books as literature."
An Sanderlin, a KU student enrolled in a course in children's literature,
reads to Douglas Wittebort, 7 (left), and Patrick Rooney, 7.
The idea to bring the children to the University of Kansas originated from Korey Hartwich, Overland Park High School is one of the students in the tutorial.
Hartwick said the class had been brainsorting on which direction the course would take, and he came up with the answer - stories they had enjoyed as children.
"The class kept revolving around children's literature, how it affected us then and now." Hartwich said. "Reading is good, but we can't always remember what we felt when we were reading as children."
That is where the 10 first-graders and 11 second-graders assist the older students.
"The kids are like a strange pair of eyeglasses for us," he said. "They help us see a situation in a way we couldn't, unaided."
Gilbert said his idea also was part of the ongoing Year of the Lifetime Reader program.
During the hour-long class, the children shared such books as "Curious George," "The Veltelveen Rabbit" and "The Magic Clock." Some book they brought, and others allowed their KU host to read aloud to them.
Amber Lancaster, a first-grader, brought her favorite book, "Shadow", because she liked the dark shadows throughout the book
Dawn Sanford, White City freshman, read the book to Amber.
"It's been fun, especially being with the little kids," she said. "I missed that. You don't get a lot of that here."
Michaela Hays, Dallas freshman agreed.
"I thought it was great," she said.
"It was neat to see what they liked as kids."
Four parents, who brought the children to KU, watched.
Dawn Trent, the mother of a child who participated in the reading session, said she thought it was a great idea.
"It's neat for (the children) to see that bigger kids enjoy books, too," she said.
The children's teacher, Jan Dicker, said her students had been looking forward to their trip to KU and that afterward, they said they really enjoyed the experience and would know when they could do it again.
"The most wonderful thing is that they have some contact with college students," she said. "I never pass up a chance for experience. You just never know what is going to stick with a kid."
