The Case of the Singing Scientist: A Performance Perspective on the "Stages" of School Literacy.

Dyson, Anne Haas

Written Communication, v9 n1 p3-47 Jan 1992

Offers a case study of a child who used school writing activities to perform rather than simply to communicate. Finds that, although the child's language resources contributed greatly to his success with written language, they did not always fit comfortably into the writing workshop used in his classroom.
