Motivating Independent Reading and Writing in the Primary Grades through Social Cooperative Literacy Experiences (National Reading Research Center).

Morrow, Lesley Mandel; Sharkey, Evelyn A.

Reading Teacher, v47 n2 p162-65 Oct 1993

Describes a literature-based reading program designed around independent reading and writing periods (IRWP) in which children could choose to participate alone or with others in several different literacy tasks. Finds that the physical design of the literacy centers, the modeled behavior by the teachers, and the time for IRWP resulted in increased literacy activity and performance. (SR)
