Reading Salt and Pepper (Appendix B--Web only): FULL TEXT OF CHILDREN’;S STORY, SALT AND PEPPER

In “Reading Salt and Pepper” Anderson examines a story written by three third grade girls and their insights about that story as they re-read it during its production and retrospectively, eight years later. Using a frame for understanding children’;s writing as social practice, the children’;s interviews, showing their multiple and sometimes contrastive interpretations, are juxtaposed with the researcher’;s interpretations.
