Training young readers in a multicultural world / Simoneta Babiaková. -- This article presents the issue of child readership in a multicultural world. The article is based on the VEGA 1/0455/18 research project named “Research and Development of Reading Enthusiasm with Younger School-Age Learners”, which a team focused its research activities on the personality traits of readers, the social context of reading and their reading preferences. The period when children first encounter a book induces and stimulates a cultural need in children. This need appears at a pre-school age and fully develops during the early schooling years of a child. The current multicultural school presents relatively new social contexts that accompany the child in the context of their readingexperience and experiences. The contents, genres and forms that children currently prefer when reading change in connection with cultural and social rently prefer when reading change in connection with cultural and social diversity.
