Reading distractions is something to be eliminated to help pupils improve their comprehension to develop their reading confidence. This study aimed to determine the pupils’ level of reading distractions and confidence and its significant relationship. This employed a descriptive-correlational research design which utilized an adapted and modified questionnaire on reading distraction which included class environment factor, psychological factor and home and family factors to 235 Grade 5 pupils from North 1 District of Cagayan de Oro City Division through stratified random sampling using Slovin’s Formula. The study utilized descriptive statistics like Mean, Standard Deviation and Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient for the significant relationship. Results showed that pupils’ overall reading is less distracted especially in class environment factor but most of the time distracted as to psychological and as to home and family factors. Also, pupils have reading confidence most of the time. Pupils’ reading distraction and reading confidence have moderate negative correlation. Thus, pupils’ reading confidence is not developed well when they are distracted. The more their reading is distracted, the lesser their reading confidence. The lesser their reading is distracted, the more their reading confidence increases. Teachers and family members may help promote a conducive place for reading, free from distractions to sustain the pupils’ reading confidence.

“…From the late 18th century until today, children's literature has continued to develop in both written and oral forms. Children's literature is synonymous with children's lives, ranging from the center of the story, the characters, to things that can only be understood by children, and in a form that children like, such as books full of exciting pictures (Bayraktar, 2021;Mirzayeva et al, 2020). Gender diversity of characters in children's books has important roles such as reflecting a diverse world to increase a sense of inclusion and belonging, increase self-confidence and feelings of value, and promote gender equality which is important for creating an equitable society (Lestari & Yulindrasari, 2021), and enhance understanding of gender roles (Casey et al, 2021).…”

Children’s literature plays an essential role in shaping readers’ characters through the influence of the ideology implied in it. Children will learn and implement these ideologies as the target readers for their future lives. This study aims to find out the gender representation in one of the children’s literatures, Percy Jackson the Lightning Thief, by Rick Riordan. By applying corpus linguistics, the number of characters and their representations are examined and compared between the English version as the source text and its Indonesian translation. The results show that although male characters dominate the novel in terms of number, a deeper analysis of the collocation of body parts with verbs reveals that there was a shift in gender representation between the two versions of the novel that have different cultural backgrounds. Furthermore, it was found that the author depicted some characters with less fixation on their sex; male characters are less masculine, and female characters are more masculine than the prevailing gender stereotypes in society. In the translated version, the translator rectified the stereotypes by depicting the characters’ gender according to sex. These findings reflect broader cultural ideologies about gender for the millions of readers who enjoy this book. In addition, these findings imply the significance of parents' and educators' awareness and critical thinking regarding the selection of reading materials for children.Keywords: children literature; corpus linguistic; critical discourse analysis; gender representation; translation
