Title: Building an Audience: Developing Audience Awareness in Kindergarten Writers
Author: Harbison, Clare
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to look at Kindergarten students and understand how they move from writing for themselves to writing for an audience. Kindergarten students are still young children and have difficulty taking on the perspectives of others. For this reason, it is hard for them to write so that someone other than themselves can read their writing. However, during the Kindergarten year students experience a shift in perspectives that makes writing for an audience possible. Students move from writing for themselves to writing for an audience. This paper examines the journey that Kindergarteners go through as they move from writing for themselves to writing for an audience.
