Understanding children’s reading involves a sense of both its extra-historicality and its historical transformation, since childhood is different for each generation. The eight editions of the Druzhba Narodov’s journal roundtable “Only Children’s Books to Read” (2015-2022) provide sufficiently representative empirical material to trace the transformation of children’s reading repertoires and to see how generational codes influence text perception. The analysis of these materials makes it possible to understand the phenomenon of children’s reading, to identify the specificities of a child reader’s communication with the text. In this context, it seems important not only to analyse the various autocomments of the participants in the survey, but also, thanks to the student surveys, to discover the gap in the routes of reading children’s literature.
