Children's creativity as a result of perception of fiction

Abstract

In the work of Elena Dushechkina, attention is given to certain literary characteristics specific to children’s creative work (specifically by 6/7-year-olds). Analyzing the literary framework that children operate within, the author insists on their ability to imitate literature, thus suggesting that children’s creativity could be considered as study material for their comprehension of literary texts.

Keywords: Kornei Chukovsky, children’s creativity, imitation, experience of reading literature
