Identification and Description of Four-Year-Olds with Low-Book-Interest Behaviors in Three Classroom Contexts.

Raines, Shirley C.; Isbell, Rebecca T.

School Library Media Annual (SLMA), v10 p119-28 1992

This study of book interest behaviors of preschoolers focused on four year olds who exhibited a low interest in books in classroom contexts. It was found that providing access to books without teacher mediation did not result in increased book interactions or changes in the childrens' book interests. (18 references) (LRW)
