Play as a Context for Literacy Learning: A Qualitative Analysis.
Dever, Martha T.; Wishon, Philip M.
Early Child Development and Care, v113 p31-43 Aug 1995
Examined the effect of sociodramatic play on the literacy learning of first graders. Found that sociodramatic play provided a vehicle through which the players practiced what they knew about literacy and provided an opportunity to think about literacy in the context of various play themes. Adult mediation enhanced the players' incorporation of literacy events into their play. (AA)
