ERW1_2018/19- Session 1 . Challenge 5.2. The Rights of the Reader by Pennac

Please now that you have read and hopefully thought about and discussed Daniel Pennac's first pages take a look at his Rights of the Reader in this beautiful poster.

Thoughts? Do they cause any discomfort?

They can be quite provocative for us teachers/ parents, don't you think?

Who is going to print out the poster?

I am!

Yes, again! :)

nlm

and yes, I'm still "making you read" whatever that means :D for this course... But it is a relevant discussion don't you think?

I'm sorry but for me this isn't as appealing as the few pages of the pdf. What I mean is, it's not that interesting. The only thing I notice is the right to be different from what is expected, without pressures or glances aside ... simply free will.

I'm sorry, in this exercise, i did not write much.
But I like the exercises but this 'poster' i did not have more to say ... maybe other colleagues see something more or different.

Ok. How do you feel when confronted with these kind of rights? Do you agree with them? Which one is closer to your own experience/needs?

First of all, I´d like to agree that it´s in fact a beautiful poster, brilliantly illustrated by
Quentin Blake.

Secondly, Pennac’s “Rights” are claims for liberty and remind us that we can empower our children as readers!

1. The right to skip pages
2. The right not to read
3. The right not to finish
4. The right to re‐read
5. The right to read anything
6. The right to read anywhere
7. The right to mistake a book for real life
8. The right to browse
9. The right to read out loud
10. The right to remain silent

The author reflects on the power of story and reminds us of our right to read anything, anywhere, anytime, so long as we are enjoying ourselves.
He's main point is very simple: no one is ever going to read a book if they don't want to. Reading, he says, is mostly about pleasure. From that, other things will follow. If people choose to spend their time doing something else, that's their right.
Thirdly, they can be quite provocative for us teachers/ parents, if we think…
Our children feel they have these rights in our class?
Do they want others?
We’re always making them read.

When we examine the ‘right not to finish’…
Do we let the children give up on particular books/texts?
Even when we see that they´re so irritated, offended, bored, or dissatisfied with a text or so unengaged that they want to stop reading it?

Do we let the children skip pages, to read anywhere, to reread?
Why is this important? Because if children are to see themselves as readers, they must be in charge, they must have ownership about their reading.
For conclusion, I´m totally in agreement with Pennac: “Reading, is mostly about pleasure. From that, other things will follow.” This is why he defends that giving children choice is so important!
I will certainly print the poster “The Rights of the Reader” and use it to empower my child and other children as a reader!

Please remember to use the apostrophe (below the question mark, same key on the keyboard)

I had already printed it NLM, I even posted this link for the previous challenge. You saw it, didn't you?
People have right to choose and we must respect everybody's choice as we expect them to respect ours . In this life,I am sure that we all look for happiness, even if we are happy when we read and extend our knowledge, other people may have different ways to achieve that, as the poster suggests.

The poster is even greater that the first pages from the book… I need to read the rest of it.
These rights cause no discomfort to me as an individual. I’m in the same page as Pennac’s. Liberty of choice. If you don’t like heavy music you just don’t listen to it, so if you don’t like to read you don’t read.
As a teacher, this is not quite simple because I can’t say to a student that he/she is free to do it. But, sometimes we can. As for example, few years ago, my pupils had to pick up a book from the school library and read it when they could, between classes, at home, etc. They had to respect some basic rules: they could read the entire book or part of it, they could just “read” illustrations, they could make some illustrations of their own in a worksheet, right an abstract or simply don’t read the book.

Yes, you still making me read... and I'm enjoying it a lot...

Reading is, for me, a human right.
Regarding the poster "Rights of the Reader" by Daniel Pennac illustrated by Quentin Blake I must say I agree with the reader's fourth right -" The right to reread ". Reading a good book only once is not enough. It is only in the second reading, that we get the little details that were not there before, and we also feel the pleasure of reading a good book more than once.
"The right to read anywhere". Yes, I also strongly agree with this right. Sometimes reading in the bedroom or in the living room is not the best place. The truth is that it should be done in a quiet place, so that we put our full attention in the book.
"The right to read anything", yes, because any reader can read what he/she wants. All books are different, each with a different story.
According to Pennac "no one will ever read a book if they do not want to. Reading, he says, is mainly about pleasure. From this, other things will follow. If people choose to spend their time doing something else, that is their right.

Thanks Sandra!
Till now, I think I have only reread two books: Le Petit Prince by Antoine Saint-Exupéry and La Sombra del Viento by CarlosRuiz Zafón. Normally I don't read the same book twice...
About reading: I like reading everywhere, really, I agree that the quieter the better, but cafés are almost my favourite, because if it is too quiet sometimes I fall asleep! :)

As I have already mentioned I am not a "good" reader, but in summer, on the beach I always like to read anything!

"1. The right not to read. "- Because I don’t want to, because it’s not appropriate!;
"2. The right to skip. - Who said that a book should read only from the first to the last page ?;
'3. The right not to finish a book. "- well ... if this law did not apply to me, I could arm myself with a fundamentalist and say" No way! Once you have started to read it, finish it! ", But there are books that remain, indefinitely, on the shelf waiting to be reopened and read;
'4. The right to read it again. "- The books that re-read are like old friends who meet again. There are always new things to discover, characteristics that were not noticed before, defects to which the eyes closed, virtues that surprise.
'5. The right to read anything. "- who said that one should only read LITERATURE? Not all the books in the bookstores will be part of the literary canons ... but they help us travel in our dreams. In fact, we can read everything!;
'6. The right to to mistake a book for real life. " How many times do you sigh with that hero (or even anti-hero) of the last book you read! How often do you discuss your actions or your character? As in adolescence, all loves are eternal ... until a new one appears!
'7. The right to read anywhere. " Not all reading rooms are conventional ... but that does not really matter!
'8. The right to dip in. "" One, two, three, four ... as many as our will demands!
'9. The right to read out aloud. "- yes, of course! There are words that only make sense when spoken out loud!
10. The right to be quiet. "- there are secrets to keep well!

In fact the illustrator manages to catch the attention of anyone through these cartoons. These illustrations are very rich both by the messages they convey and by their comic nature.
Yes, I think we all have the right to read what we want, where we want and when we want. After all we are all free to make our own choices, as long as it does not disrespect the freedom of others.
As a teacher I respect the different needs of each child and I am sure that this method can work with small children as a way to motivate reading initiation. Sometimes using too many rules / requirements can keep kids far from reading rather than approaching them. In this way, children are free to develop their own taste by reading at their own pace and according to their tastes.
And yes I would be able to print this revolutionary poster.
