- Summary:
-
Two exploratory studies were conducted to determine differences in the literary response patterns of children in kindergarten through fourth grade, as determined by their drawings. A study was then conducted to determine whether or not children of different ages talk differently about literature. A total of 30 children in grades one through four met individually with an investigator and discussed Maurice Sendak's "Where the Wild Things Are" for five-minute periods after hearing the book read aloud. The children's responses were assessed in terms of the following variables: number of interactions, fluency of response, number of volunteered responses, initial reactions to the book, clarification of the initial reactions, categories of responses, and the effect of gender on responses. Analysis of the findings indicated that a great variety of response patterns existed among the children and that only a few tentative response patterns relating to grade level and sex could be discerned. (Tables indicating the children's response patterns are included.) (GW)
