Abstract

This study offers an opportunity for
learning the characteristics of elementary school students' dream books that
can increase their willingness to read. In the study, for which the qualitative
research method was adopted in line with this main purpose, 275 elementary
school students that attended different schools at 2nd, 3rd and 4th grades were
asked to describe in writing the characteristics of the book of their dreams
that increases their willingness to read. The data obtained were subjected to
content analysis, and the characteristics of students' dream books were
categorized into "general characteristics", "physical
characteristics", "themes", "protagonists" and
"expectations". The study findings indicate that the book preferences
of students are influenced by the changes taking place in our time. It was
found out that the books of students' dreams had also characteristics of
e-books as well as printed books.
