Popis: The purpose of this study was to explore questions related to book discussions conducted by teachers as they increased the use of literature in their classrooms. Three research questions guided data collection and analysis: (1) How do teachers describe the value of book discussions in their classrooms and their participation with students as they talk about literature?, (2) What patterns of discourse occur as teachers and students talk about books?, and (3) What is the relationship between teachers' perceptions of book discussions and the ways students and teachers talk about books? Although limited to two teachers using a variety of books across two different classes of students, this study provides insights into important issues surrounding the use of literature in elementary classrooms.
