Language Arts : Exploring Connections (3 Rev ed)

The voices of real teachers who share their experiences in teaching the language arts can be heard in this long-awaited third edition.

This language arts text maintains its balanced, applications-centered approach and advocates direct instruction in skills and strategies within the context of meaningful curriculum.

Grounded in current theory and research, the text integrates the language arts with content area learning and children's literature, and includes many examples of real classroom and children's work where thematic instruction occurs.

Bromley explores the important connections between the various language arts in such chapters as "Listening and Reading Connections" (Ch. 6), "Connections: Speaking and Writing" (Ch. 9) and "Connections Across the Language Arts" (Ch. 13).
