Literacy and Numeracy Events in Social Interactive Contexts.
Munn, Penny; Schaffer, H. Rudolph
International Journal of Early Years Education, v1 n3 p61-80 Win 1993
Describes a study of the literacy and numeracy experiences of two- and three-year olds from disadvantaged homes, as they occurred in Scottish day nursery schools. Found that numeracy experiences occurred less frequently than literacy experiences. Variation between the nurseries showed consistent patterns between variables relating to staff background and nursery organization and the frequency of literacy and numeracy experiences. (TJQ)
