TAHAPAN PERKEMBANGAN ANAK DAN PEMILIHAN BACAAN SASTRA ANAK
Abstract: Universally, various
psychological aspects of children develop through certain stages according to
their age level. They go through stages of intellectual, moral and emotional
developments, stages of personality and language developments, and stages in
the growth of their concept about stories. Each type of development is divided
into specific stages. Piaget divides children’s intellectual development, for example,
into four stages: the sensory-motor, pre-operational, concrete operational, and
formal operational stages. These stages come in accordance with their age
development.
Each stage has characteristics distinguishing it from anya other stage.
The difference in characteristics logically implies in turn a difference in
their response to reading matter. Consequently, in selecting reading matter for
children, one should consider their age in order to make the selection match
their psychological development of children of a certain age level would make
the reading matter become uncommunicative because it is too difficult for them
or make it uninteresting and boring for them because it is too easy or too
simple.
