QUESTION 1
1.1.
The story Why Dassies Have No Tails is categorised as a book suitable for 6- to 9-year-olds,
aligning with the developmental expectations outlined in Unit 6.
Below is one literary element per age (6 to 9) that makes the story appropriate;
Six-Year-Olds (Grade 1)
At this stage, children are transitioning into formal education and still enjoy repetition,
familiar settings, and predictable narratives. They are also beginning to distinguish between
fantasy and reality. The story's use of repetition and simple sentence structures (e.g., “Don’t
worry, I’ll follow you!”) makes it accessible for children at this age. The moral lesson at the
end—Dassie’s laziness leading to his lack of a tail—also aligns with the type of simple,
instructive narrative structure recommended for this age group (Evans et al., 2017:89).
