To Work or Play? Junior Age Non-Fiction as Objects of Design.
Moss, Gemma
Reading: Literacy and Language, v35 n3 p106-10 Nov 2001
Examines change and variation in the design of non-fiction texts which have a junior-age readership. Argues that different forms of presentation of non-fiction offer different ways of reading non-fiction texts, which as yet are neither fully described nor recognized. Suggests that non-fiction texts can be more or less firmly orientated towards reading as work or reading as play. (SG)
