Examined the
collaborative literacy learning that occurred in a literacy-enriched
sociodramatic play center. Literacy behaviors were coded from transcripts
of 15 hours of free play. Found substantial cross-age literacy-based
collaboration, with almost half the interactions involving older
children helping younger children. This collaboration was very effective
in getting recipients to engage in reading and writing behaviors.
