We can not emphasize too much importance of literary experience in childhood. Korean education makes it possible of student to communicate with world, to interact the idea and to grow by himself through language. It is somewhat hard to maximize the strength of literature experience in the field of current literature education. I focus on the fact that literary experience in childhood should be conducted through the meaningful transaction with text. Rosenblatt denominated this kind of transaction in reading literature ‘event’. I emphasize the fact that literature education for children should play an important role in activating and deepening this event. Therefore I investigate the way of deepening the literary experience in childhood mainly in the genre condition that is one of the text condition. I especially concentrated this research on the experience issue about poetry text. About narrative text, there are already some works on the literary experience of world and human. However it has been pointed out continuous as drawback that literature education has had a tendency to emphasize more the formal elements than experimental elements in poetry text. Therefore it could be concluded that poetic experience and narrative experience should be considered as significant contents in literature education to maximize the contact to the world, which is the essential value of literature, and poetic experience about narrative text and narrative experience about poetic text can be considered actively in this aspect.
