Becoming Literate: The Acquisition of Story Discourse.

Brown, David L.; Briggs, L. D.

Reading Horizons, v32 n2 p139-53 Dec 1991

Shows 16 kindergarten children's literacy development as indicated by the use of 6 specific story elements (classic story version, connected events, fantasy experiences, goal-directed experiences, personal experiences, and social interactions) in the children's original stories. Finds support for the belief that learning to read and learning to write are separable elements in literacy development. (MG)
