Book Reading Interactions: What Parents And Children Say, Janice Porterfield-Stewart

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Children's awareness of how they learn to read or how they view literacy events contributes to the way they approach book reading (Edwards, 1962; Johns, 1972; Muskopf, 1962; Stewart, 1988).

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
