Abstract Work conducted on the construction of literacy events through talk and interaction around texts has shown how pedagogical, institutional and sociological work can be unveiled through discourse analysis of talk in early literacy events (Baker, 1991, 1997, 2000; Baker & Freebody, 1989). Through the various events, teachers and students construct what it means to be literate. Teachers and students construct norms, expectations, rules, roles and responsibilities in relation to how they interact in the classroom (Green et al., 1992). This paper reports on findings from a study that examined the relationship between the activity of oral reading and learning to read in the primary school. It discusses how the oral reading activities investigated helped to construct a reader's identity and how the nature of these activities afforded some students the opportunity to learn whilst others were denied this opportunity.
