%X To conclude, Dyson had clearly developed the research themes based on what she observed from the children¡¯s literacy learning experiences to show how their worldviews were developed through their meaning-making negotiations and constructions with people around them. She was very deliberate and detailed in explaining the literacy world of children. She had done a very good job in associating children¡¯s literate behaviors with Bakhtin¡¯s concept of language as social dialogues Geertz¡¯s concept of ¡°imaginative universe¡±.
