Using children's books with adults : negotiating literacy by
Dawna Lisa Buchanan-Berrigan(
)
2 editions published in 1989 in English and held by 3 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Patterns emerging from the study indicated a strong social base for the construction of a literacy learning community and suggested a model for negotiating literacy called mediation. Resistance, contracting, negotiation and collaboration are the components of this process and describe the role of teacher/researcher as one of mediator. A person with specialized literacy (as in children's literature), willing to negotiate with clients on a peer basis, can mediate the investigation of unfamiliar and shared values in different literacies. The study concludes that using children's books with adult learners can provide access to both mainstream and other literacy practices with positive implications for the achievement of new perspectives about literacies in the culture

A descriptive study of literacy learning and teaching during an author study/visit by Susan M Hayward(
)
1 edition published in 2002 in English and held by 1 WorldCat member library worldwide
A growing interest in schools among teachers and administrators is using an author visit to enhance reading and writing in the curriculum. The purpose of this study was to describe the impact of a school author study/visit on seventh graders' literacy activities in one language arts classroom. This study looked at the learning opportunities planned for the students by the staff and their classroom teacher, but also looked at how these learning opportunities were shaped and co-constructed by the students, teacher and other adults. This study has potential significance in adding to the body of research on an author study/visit by describing how an author study/visit shapes teacher and students; discussions in reading and writing, interests in reading, the support of the teacher's efforts to stimulate and encourage writing, to offer insights into the creative process of writing, and to promote lasting appreciation of the written word

Young children's conversations with picture books : a case study of two first graders in a reading intervention program by M. Louise Trotter(
)
1 edition published in 1995 in English and held by 1 WorldCat member library worldwide
This one-year study traces the meaning-making of two first grade boys in a reading intervention class as they discuss their picture books. A constructivist perspective of knowledge is taken, with reader response providing the theoretical underpinnings. Data for this ethnography were gathered from transcripts of weekly videotapes, student work, and journal notes. Major categories of student talk which emerged from the data fell into the groupings of naming and locating items and events within the text, narrative, shifts between naming/locating and narrative, affective response, presentation of self, and unique participation structures. More of the student talk was designated naming and locating than was designated as narrative. The naming and locating function seemed essential to provide content for supporting the spontaneous student narratives, which became more frequent as the school year progressed. Early in the year the narratives related to the text, were often produced independently by each student. Later narratives were more likely to be produced co-operatively and were more intertwined with the picture book texts. Student interpretation frequently evolved from their earlier interpretations. The use of informational books and wordless books yielded more student talk as compared with printed stories in picture books. In the beginning of the year, the teacher/researcher's talk dominated. By the close of the school year the amount of student talk became more evenly distributed between the two students and the teacher/researcher. The students and the teacher/researcher deferred to the text as the primary authority for meaning. Through their talk, the students were able to monitor their meaning construction while using the book to anchor their conversation. A supportive teaching environment in this reading context appears to provide quality picture books, follow student initiated talk related to the text, encourage interaction among the students, teacher, and with the text, and allow for silences within the dialogue providing students and the teacher with time to think through their ideas

Children's use of fiction and nonfiction literature in a kindergarten classroom by Brenda Sue Harvey(
)
1 edition published in 1993 in English and held by 1 WorldCat member library worldwide
Within the frameworks of emergent literacy and response to literature, the purposes of this study were to investigate the role of the teacher for facilitating children's meaning-making with fiction and nonfiction literature and to investigate children's literacy behaviors as they interacted with fiction and nonfiction literature. Using observational fieldnotes, interviews, audio-recordings, video-recordings and collections of children's writing, the researcher collected data from one kindergarten classroom over a period of four months. A comparative description was made between the patterns of children's talk/social interaction, voluntary/free response, reading behaviors and writing behaviors as related to both fiction and nonfiction literature. Findings indicate that the teacher supported children's meaning-making by encouraging collaboration among the children and by orchestrating time and space within the classroom. She also facilitated children's growing understandings about fiction and nonfiction literature by modelling various meaning-making techniques as she read aloud. These techniques included: (1) relating the reading to the children's prior experiences; (2) explaining, defining and/or extending terms within the text; (3) reviewing and/or reminding children of previously read text; (4) modelling the use of illustrations; (5) encouraging children to predict and read; (6) teaching conventions of texts; (7) questioning children about content; (8) involving children in the book; and, (9) omitting portions of the text. She intuitively used varying techniques depending upon the genre she read. Findings also indicate that the children, having had frequent and varied experiences with both genres, engaged in a variety of meaning-making strategies such as creating elaborate, narrative stories related to the pictures in nonfiction texts, supporting peers' reading and writing through varied types of assistance and engaging in private lessons with both fiction and nonfiction literature. The children also incorporated characteristic features of both types of texts into their writing. It is a common notion in the educational community that young children are not successful with nonfiction texts. However, findings from this study seem to indicate that young children can successfully read and make sense from both fiction and nonfiction literature

Inventing American girlhood : gendered pedagogies in women's memoirs, 1950-1999 by
Elizabeth Marshall(
)
1 edition published in 2001 in English and held by 1 WorldCat member library worldwide
In “Inventing Gendered Childhoods” I examine memoirs written by women in the 1990s who came of age in postwar America in order to trace how girlhood developed as a separate category from childhood. Although girlhood is often posited in scholarship and everyday life as the time-bounded period of adolescence, I argue that it is better understood for the purposes of Education research as a cultural space and identity that girls are compelled to occupy, and in which they are trained through various means. I demonstrate that the meaning of childhood as a gendered experience emerges in a range of cultural locations and institutions, including but not limited to schools. Through memoirs such as Susanna Kaysen's Girl, Interrupted , Dorothy Allison's Two or Three Things I Know For Sure, and bell hooks' Bone Black, women make visible a range of surreptitious cultural lessons and in the process re-read and counter the repressive girl-rearing practices that framed their own coming-of-age. In particular, women memoirists offer alternative pedagogies that blur the line between adulthood and childhood, tutor us about the insufficiency of the time-bound and gendered identities that the school imposes, and finally disperse the work of “pedagogy” throughout the culture. This project contributes to the debates around girls and education by offering an alternative archive for feminist reflections on girls and schools in the form of women's memoir
