Doesn't Play Steal Time from Reading? (When the Principal Asks).
Harp, Bill
Reading Teacher, v42 n3 p244-45 Dec 1988
Discusses connections between play and reading at the primary level. Notes that sociodramatic play has the clearest link to reading because it involves imagination and manipulation of time and reality. Argues that play facilitates reading when it involves both the manipulation of symbols and acts of reading and writing. (MM)
