Children's First Schoolbooks: Introductions to the Culture of Literacy.

Freebody, Peter; Baker, Carolyn D.

Harvard Educational Review, v55 n4 p381-98 Nov 1985

The authors explore ways in which beginning reading books present cultural perspectives to young children. They examine certain modes of thought, experience, and interaction prevalent in the child's preschool life in contrast to other types of experiences characteristic of the culture of formal and literate schooling.
