Voksne i dialog med femåringer som på eget initiativ produserer tekster i barnehagen

Abstract

Every day, a variety of dialogues take place between children and adults in the Norwegian kindergarten. These dialogues concern different themes. In this article we pay attention to adult participation in spontaneous dialogues from everyday life. We study dialogues between five-year-olds and adults about children's self-initiated text production. We discuss how the adults' contributions to the dialogue may have a significant impact on the children's text production and early writing. Children's texts are both drawings and written expressions made on paper with markers and colored pencils.
