- Summary:
- Drawing on his own extensive research in urban classrooms, Lawrence Sipe presents a comprehensive, grounded theoretical model of children's understanding of picture storybooks-the first to focus specifically on young children. Sipe suggests that children respond in five different ways during picture storybook readalouds; that these responses reveal that children are engaged in different types of literary meaning-making; and that these types of meaning-making are examples of five foundational aspects of literary understanding. Capturing the liveliness of children's responses, this dynamic volume: Offers a theory of literacy understanding that is relevant to contemporary young children with a wide variety of ethnic, racial, and socioeconomic backgrounds, Includes a wealth of examples of children's responses and how teachers scaffold the children's interpretation of stories, Examines the significance of young children's literary interpretation, factors that influence literary understanding, and implications for practice and further research.
