Language, and Then Language . . .

Abstract

This book contains 14 chapters, divided into three parts. Part I presents theory and research on the relations between language and literacy. Part II covers instructional issues, based mostly on the major theme expressed in Part I, that literacy is predominantly a 'language-related' phenomenon. Part III concerns legal and policy issues as they relate to special education and to students with learning disabilities in postsecondary institutions. The reviewer states that it is important to do research on children with special needs; however, this text demonstrates there are fundamentals that apply to all children, especially for the development of English language and literacy skills.
