Procházková, Jana ; Klumparová, Štěpánka (advisor) ; Hník, Ondřej (referee)
Resume Principle of this bachelor labor is to analyze texts in reading books for pupils of age 11 to 15. It is focused on adolescent reader mainly. I tried to find out whether articles in reading books have respected a pupil as a specific reader with specific needs, interests and preferences. I analyzed six different reading books in my labor. Each of them represented another author's style of writing. My analyses on reading books have been more complex. First of all I have made short characteristics and next I closely analyze articles from different aspects, e.g. representation of national and world literature, representation of female and male writer etc. Part of my labor was a survey among pupils of ninth class which compared theoretical information's gained from specialized publication, information from questionnaires and the present state of adolescents reading. I tried to find out what is the interest in books or reading in a sequence on texts in reading books for pupils of age 11-15.
