1) Children's Literature (0 to 8 years)
Picture books, easy chapter books, and novels.
2) Middle Grade/ Tween (8-12 years)
This is not a category of literature.**Middle School (11-13 years)
Often people confused them but in this category books have romance and drama. They also deal with more deep issues like being transgender. Its kind of tricky, but be sure to use good judgment and examine their age carefully.
3) Young Adult (13-18 years)
This division is for older students and contains heavier language, love, sex content, and more age appropriate topics.
4) New Adult (18- 30 years)
Started in 2009 and it was primarily develop because they were looking for protagonists that would be also appealing to adult audience. Topics range from high school gradate going off to college, first sexual relationship, or dealing with adult issues without being adults.
Reflection:
I'm glad you created this video to explain the division into Young Adult Literature. Many times students go into the public library and there are many signs through out the library and can't quite really tell where to go. I even got a better understanding between the Middle Grade and Middle School! I didn't know that there was a New Adult section! I like that fact that I am going to able to guide students into the right direction depending on your age. I now have a better understanding of how I can organize my library.
