Literacy & Play
with Young
Children
March 29, 2014
METLink UNO Conference
Dr. Debora Wisneski
John T. Langan Early Childhood
Education Professor
 Children use
symbolic
transformation in
play and when
writing and
reading
(Pellegrini &
Galda, 1993).
 Pretend play
episodes are
story-like, with
plot, characters,
and setting
(Roskos, 1990).
Play & Literacy
Connections
“In all cases, literacy makes sense
for children because it occurs in the
meaningful context of play.”
Reifel, 1995
 Culture is shaped
& passed along
by story.
 Story is a form of
communication
& negotiation.
 Story keeps us
healthy mentally.
 Story helps us
make sense of
the world.
 Story helps
develop
language.
The Power of
Story
Play & Story
Meet Vivian Paley
Think dramatically. Get in the
habit of thinking of yourself
and the children as partners
in an acting company. Once
we learn to imagine ourselves
as characters in a story, a
particular set of events
expands in all directions. We
find ourselves being kinder
and more respectful to one
another because our options
have grown in intimacy,
humor, and literary flavor.
The Process of Story Acting
1) Write down children’s stories as they tell
them.
2) Set up a stage and audience area.
3) Choose the actors.
4) Read the story slowly as the actors act
out the words.
5) Applause & discussion may follow.
An example of story acting
Let’s try this together!
What did we
experience?
What did we learn?
What standards does story-
acting address?
 NE Early Learning Standards
 Your district’s standards
Adapting for older children
 Connections to the writing process
 Composing, revision/editing
 Connections to reading comprehension
 Writing Screen plays, drama clubs, novels
 “The classroom that does not create its
own legends has not traveled beneath
the surface to where the living takes
place.
 The fantasies of any group form the basis
of its culture; this is where we search for
common ground. That which we have
forgotten how to do, the children do best
of all: They make up stories.” (Paley, 1990,
p. 5)
