Van Horn, Leigh

Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, v43 n8 p752-63 May 2000

Examines what happens when seventh-grade students share their personal reading with peers as "Reader of the Day," a way for them to define themselves publicly as they interact within the literacy community of the classroom. Discusses cultural value associated with "Reader of the Day," operations and task demands, and scripts for reader and listener conduct. (SR)
