Literacy as "Passionate Attention."
Sanders, Maureen
Language Arts, v64 n6 p619-33 Oct 1987
Recounts observations of a child's interactions with Beverly Cleary's Ramona books, noting that she exhibited "passionate attention" toward the characters by becoming involved with them and discussing them often. Shows that the child's comments grew from observations to criticism over time, and her passionate attention to Ramona expanded to other reading. (SKC)
