Fantasy Literature for Expanding Junior High School Reading Interest

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

The level of becoming a mature reader is not being obtained. Students need read frequently to keep their minds stimulated. Our society is based on the ability to read and write. Without these basic skills, no one will fit comfortably into today's society. Students need to learn these pivotal skills.

METHODS

The researchers made a thorough evaluation and analysis of the fantasy novel, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.

RESULTS

Reading is an important skill in the society and fantasy novels offer an alternative to other boring or uninteresting literature forms.

DISCUSSIONS

Readers need to look deeper on the utilization of five main elements such as the plot, characters, conflict, setting and theme. Fantasy novels must be included in teaching literature to discern possible solutions to life's adversities in a magical way. Schools need to implement reading promotion programs that will make reading an experience that is actively sought out by students.
