| Summary: | Argues for a focus on language study in elementary and middle school classrooms. Presents a study of language as a whole (not as isolated, decontextualized bits of teaching on grammar, vocabulary and sounds) and advocates helping children gain greater proficiency with language by having them engage in varied activities and explorations. |
