Product Description
The author draws on his own extensive research in urban classrooms to present a comprehensive, grounded theoretical model of children s understanding of picture storybooks the first to focus specifically on young children. Advancing a much broader and deeper theory of literary understanding, the author suggests that children respond in five different ways during picture storybook readalouds; that these responses reveal that children are engaged in different types of literary meaning-making; and that these types of meaning-making are examples of five foundational aspects of literary understanding.

Great respect for children! July 23, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Sipe shows us how deeply and thoughtfully children respond to a variety of texts in classrooms settings, drawing on their experiences and knowledge to make sense of storybooks and the world they live in. As a researcher and theorist, Sipe is deeply respectful of teachers and children. Sipe makes it easy for the reader to see how children "make meaning" as well as how their seemingly childish responses represent sophisticated thinking and scaffold later literary and conceptual understandings. I recommend this to classroom teachers and parents who want to know more about the value of stories and read-alouds for children of all ages. This is an important book.
