It features in Carroll’s novel, Through the Looking Glass, and is approximately seventy-five percent completely made up words. Even Alice, the main character of the book, is bewildered by it saying, “"It seems very pretty," she said when she had finished it, "but it's rather hard to understand!" (You see she didn't like to confess, even to herself, that she couldn't make it out at all.)” (Carroll 64). So why would…

Making reading personally meaningful through children's literature helps them learn to read (King, 1989). He asserts that while reading to children, it is important to let them interpret books with their personal experience and to share the meaning with others because their personal response to literature is a beneficial way to develop their literacy.
