Examines the oral responses of a class of urban kindergartners as stories were read aloud to them by their teacher, with the purpose of describing these responses as evidence of literary understanding. Finds that the children did not understand the stories as rigid and unbending structures, but as the raw materials for molding a variety of meanings. (SG)
