This market-leading text features a fully-integrated approach to language arts instruction that is solidly based on cognitive and socio-psycholinguistic theories of learning. Coverage encompasses all of the language arts -- reading, writing, talking, and listening -- and includes traditional topics--handwriting, spelling, vocabulary, and grammar. It examines current topics such as the reading-writing connection...the development of the language arts across the entire elementary curriculum...and reader's and writer's workshops. A unique introductory chapter gives future teachers of Grades K-8 a complete instructional framework that is then applied throughout subsequent chapters to listening, talking, reading, and writing.
