Description
This article describes an educational program in a school library, where students are introduced to the concept of congruent and incongruent reading modes in both printed and digital book formats. Using the exceedingly popular fairytale “Cinderella” (ATU 510A) as part of the world cultural heritage ‒which belongs to the tales of magic in the Aarne-Thompson-Uther tale-type index (ATU index)‒, activities are conducted and children are introduced to different formats of printed and digital literary texts. In this line of thought, they browse online for a movable book of “Cinderella” (Dean, 1858). Then they seek for a printed book on the library bookshelves and make comparisons between the two printed books in movable and contemporary format. Lastly, they browse the “Project Guttenberg” website for digitalized printed books by Perrault and Grimm to familiarize themselves with the concept of congruent display on reading and to discover the different formats of books.
