Abstract
Examines the “whats” and “hows” of first-grade urban children’s appropriation of sports and sports-related media material for participation in unofficial peer worlds and official academic ones. Reveals the potential hybrid nature of even the earliest of children’s written texts. Suggests that learning to write involves work of the imagination on the part of children and teachers.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
