Using ethnographic interviews, the study explored the thinking of ten grade two and three teachers who read to their students in the classroom. Research questions addressed teachers' purposes for conducting read alouds, rationale for instructional strategies used during read alouds, and selection criteria of read aloud texts. Findings showed that decisions about read alouds were similar in kind to decisions teachers routinely make in other aspects of their work, and that the reasons are as much political as they are pedagogical. 2009-10-10 2009-10-10 2002 2009-10-10 2003-05 Electronic Thesis or Dissertation http://hdl.handle.net/2429/13893 eng UBC Retrospective Theses Digitization Project [http://www.library.ubc.ca/archives/retro_theses/]
