입트영] Kids’ Book Selections / 아이들의 ‘책 선택의 자유’

No, I don't because I just want him to learn to enjoy reading, and I think it's up to him to choose whatever he wants to read.

My mother, I think, kind of forced me to read some of the books that I had to read and it kind of made me not like books.

Back when I was in college, I took a class called The Joy of Children's Literature.

 

 - Back when 조금 많이 지난 과거라면 Back을 붙여준다.

---

Among the lessons from that class, the one that has stayed with me to this day  is to allow children the freedom to choose their own books.

 

 - the one that has stayed with me 지금까지도 머릿속에 남아있는

 - that the has stayed with me for a long time 그런 생각을 한 지 꽤 됐어

 - allow somebody ~ 누구에게 ~를 허용하다

Many parents try to take a hand in their children's book choices.

 

 - to take a hand in~ ~에 관여하다, = play a role

    My parents take a hand in all of my decision.

But, the class emphasized the importance of giving kids the authority to choose their own books.

 

 - emphasize the importance of 중요성을 강조하다

 - authority 권한, 권위

---

By(or Through) reading, children interact with the author with themselves, and with other readers.

 

 - By reading (수단) 독서를 함으로써

 - Thourgh read (과정) 독서라는 과정을 통해

 - interact with~ ~와 소통하다 / 이후의 with 는 생략해도 되지만 강조를 위해 모두 사용.

Through this process, they learn social skills and develop the ability to decide what is right on their own.

 

 - social skills  사회성

 - ability to decide what is right on their own 사리분별력

    I eventually develope the ability to do it myself.

I feel the same way.  저도 그래요.

That makes sense.  극공감할 때) 말이 되네요.
