抄録

This study examines newspapers published for elementary school students. Asahi Shogakusei Shimbun, Mainichi Shogakusei Shimbun, and Yomiuri KODOMO Shimbun are three of the most popular newspapers for elementary school students in Japan. Newspapers generally include reports and editorials. However, these newspapers incorporate numerous articles that are directly concerned with subjects such as science, history, and the national language (Japanese) . In addition, these newspapers are used in the elementary school curriculum. In terms of appearance, newspapers meant for children use larger written characters, less kanji, abundant illustrations, and multicolored printing. In doing so, they present an adult concept in a childish style.This paper considers the viewpoint of children to discuss the coverage of the nuclear power plant accident by childrenʼs newspapers and to suggest an appropriate style for them. After the 2011 Earthquake in the Pacific coast of Tohoku, the childrenʼs newspapers published varied opinions offered by their readers. For example, an elementary school student accused everyone of overusing electricity, a junior high school student blamed the government, and one mother accused the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) . These letters to the editor in newspapers were written to be read by children, and not by adult editors. This paper addresses the following questions: What are the intentions of child readers who become writers? Do their text styles differ from those used by adults when these readers become writers? Finally, what is the appropriate writing style for children?
