Negotiating among Multiple Worlds: The Space/Time Dimensions of Young Children's Composing.

Dyson, Anne Haas

Research in the Teaching of English, v22 n4 p355-90 Dec 1988

Offers an interpretive frame for viewing children's growth as creators of imaginative worlds. Suggests that writing development depends not only on children's discovery of cognitive and linguistic strategies but on children's discovery that writing can help authors create coherence in their worlds beyond texts.
