How a student responds to literature we be all based on their individual child development. Every child develops at a different rate which makes it complex for the teacher. But this information is important for the teacher to know because then the teacher will know how that student is able to create meaning from a book or story. The teacher can focus on the student's strengths and try to strengthen their weaknesses during the processes of assessing children's responses to the books they read. In order for students to create responses to their readings the must be at a development level where they can based their response on prior knowledge or background experiences. This becomes quite difficult when students learn about another culture because they have no prior knowledge of the culture. So it is the teachers job to create meaningful learning interactions that help students understand the culture and what they are reading about.
The information in this chapter is very valuable to me and my future teaching because it tells me to be patient with those student's who don't understand right away because the child could be a different developmental level then the other students.
