Preteur, Yves; Louvet-Schmauss, Eva
European Journal of Psychology of Education, v7 n1 p39-49 Mar 1992
Presents a continuation of previous research on a general development process consisting of successive levels in conceptualization. Explores how young children conceptualize the writing system. Considers both social background and preschool system of education. Concludes that teaching activities used in French nursery schools are less effective than game activities in German kindergartens in helping students conceptualize writing. (DK)
