AB: Experiences with the whole language approach to English-as-a-Foreign-Language (EFL) instruction in a Lebanese kindergarten are described. Children's literature was selected for use in instruction, in part because few appropriate commercially prepared materials were available and in part because it presents appropriate language in an entertaining, meaningful context. Discussion here focuses on the use of "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" (Eric Carle) in class by a teacher not trained in pedagogy. The technique used was to read the story aloud, wait for student response, reflect Arabic comments back in English, and encourage classroom discussion. Repetition of the story allowed the children to begin choral reading. The first and second days of class and another day about 1 week into the unit are chronicled, including a variety of group, individual, and free-play activities, during which the children incorporated story parts and related ideas into play. Contains 10 references. (MSE)

DER: Family-Sociological-Unit; Intervention-; Parent-Counseling; Parent-Education; Primary-Education
AB: A study investigating how disadvantaged parents interact with their children in literacy tasks probed the following questions: (1) what styles of interaction do young, welfare-recipient mothers display when reading a story book with their preschool-aged child? and (2) how do the styles relate to factors such as the child's age and mother's literacy level? The 290 mothers in the study ranged in age from 16 to 21 years old; the children were between the ages of 27 and 63 months. Mothers were provided with a copy of "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle and were asked to read the book to their child and take a few minutes to talk with him or her about it. Results showed that four distinct styles of book reading were displayed during the task: (1) straight readers, n=231, (who read the text aloud, but seldom paused to discuss the book during the actual reading); (2) standard interactive readers, n=231, (who paused during the reading and discussed the story); (3) non-readers, n=36, (who turned the pages and discussed the book, but did not actually read the book); and (4) recitation readers, n=9, (who asked their child to repeat the book back to them phrase by phrase). Interviews with the mothers showed that their choice of reading styles was governed by well-grounded assumptions about the reading process. In order for intervention reading programs to work, therefore, supervisors must have a clear understanding of a mother's assumptions and predispositions about literacy. Also, intervention programs need to treat mothers as learners about the role of book reading in literacy development and as active participants in creating a rich literacy environment for their children.
