Description
This new edition of the bestselling Language for Life shows how language can be mastered by children and how what they have learned can be carried throughout their lives.
An indispensable guidebook for teachers, it delivers explicit, step-by-step English language instruction via lessons in syntax, grammar, morphology, etymology, and punctuation, and arms students with the mental skill of thinking about language. This in turn helps children learn much more easily from the language around them. New features for this edition include:
- an increased focus on the relationship between knowledge of parts of speech and morphology to proficiency as a writer
- creating a metalanguage between student and teacher that encourages clear two-way feedback
- an increased focus on knowledge-building using factual topics as exemplars.
Language for Life is a proven programme that is built upon years of experience. Lyn Stone's pragmatic and modern app
