    Dealing with Dialogue: Fifth Graders’ Responses to Reading a Play ↗
    Laura B. Smolkin
    Abstract

    Explores responses of 10 fifth graders to the dialog of a play. Creates 12 speech act interruption points and asks children to write predictions for the character’s line. Examines these for conversational cooperativity. Finds children’s oral explanations for their predictions revealed two major interpretive stances--an interactive focus and a focus on characters’ concerns.
