- Abstract
- Regardless of the literacy competencies that are basic to the mechanics of reading, there is a much larger and richer view of reading that goes well beyond such competencies. There are whole worlds of literature to explore as well, and it can be a most satisfying experience for adults and children as they explore them together. The 21st Century has emerged from a long tradition of culturally satisfying and spiritually delighting engagement with the language arts that are embodied in literature, and not just literacy. This paper explores some of those things from our more ancient pasts, and examines their relevance for adults, particularly parents and teachers, and children in the present age in the area of literature. In doing so, it goes beyond concepts of literacy, exploring notions of literature.; C1
