| Description | In this study we discuss the question whether reading selected children’s literature within Czech language and literature leesons can have an influence on children in terms of their attitude, reduction of negative prejudice and stereotypical perception towards old age (ageism). This study systematically accompanies processes and phenomena during reading, gradually focusing on children's readers and literature for children and youth. The results suggest that working with the literature has a positive effect on attitudes towards old age. A number of factors depend on the success of this process, the most important factor being the age and characteristics of the literary (main) hero. |
