ABSTRACT A regionally balanced sample of fourth graders (253 girls and 239 boys) expressed their literature preferences on a 68-item fictitious annotated titles inventory. The inventory was constructed using 26 categories of fiction and nonfiction based on Schulte's (1968) and Huck and Young's (1961) children's literature Classifications. Half of each subject's survey consisted of items that he or she was to consider reading; the other half included items that the subject was to consider watching on video or film. Descriptions of preferences emerged from separate factor analyses of boys' and girls' responses. The following categories were represented in both the girls' and the boys' three top-ranked factors: traditional and modem fantasy, realistic fiction about romance and adjustment, histories fiction, science and health, and biography. Only three factors could be named using category names from the original 26 children's literature categories. Eight factors could be explained in terms of the content of the items and not in terms of the predetermined categories.
