«La lecture et l'enfant» is the essay by Bruno Bettelheim and Karen Zelan on children's reading, published by Laffont in French (253 pages).
The authors analyze from a psychological perspective how children learn to read and why reading mobilizes emotions and fantasies. With concrete cases, they show that listening to the child's personal responses and associations helps understand their difficulties and restore meaning to texts.
The work belongs to the «Réponses» collection by Laffont and was published in 1983; it is the French translation of On Learning to Read, done by Théo Carlier.
For educators, psychologists, and families interested in the emotional role of reading during childhood.
Bruno Bettelheim was an Austrian-born American psychologist, scholar, public intellectual and writer who spent most of his academic and clinical career in the United States. An early writer on autism, Bettelheim's work focused on the education of emotionally disturbed children, as well as Freudian psychology more generally. In the U.S., he later gained a position as professor at the University of Chicago and director of the Sonia Shankman Orthogenic School for Disturbed Children, and after 1973 taught at Stanford University.
