Question: How do books
read aloud affect the writing of kindergartners?
Answer: “Children were
strongly affected by the kind of book read to them.” JM Mason. 1988. P. 220.
Comment: My wife, Barbara Stopper, created paperbacks
in which her first-grade students wrote. Barbara folded sheets of 8 1/2” x 11” paper
in half, lengthwise. Stapled them. The results? The students copied the formats
of the books read to them. They would write on one-half of each sheet and
illustrate on the other half of each sheet. They created their own covers. Of
course, they used their own experiences, not the books’. RayS.
