Story Time as a Magical Act Open Only to the Initiated: What Some Children Don't Know about Power and May Not Find Out.

Gallas, Karen

Language Arts, v74 n4 p248-54 Apr 1997

Describes a teacher's year-long effort to help a second grader who would not listen to stories being read aloud understand the purpose of storybook reading. Relates her efforts as a teacher-researcher to understand beliefs about reading. Examines story time for what is says about educational equity, and what such classroom rituals may deny some students.
