Whole Language: Theory in Use is designed to help those teachers in search of answers to the "How do you..." questions. Throught the eighteen chapters, many of which are written by practicing teachers, this volume shows how whole language theory can be put into practice. Proceeding from the notion that teaching and learning are collaborative, social endeavours, Whole Language: Theory in Use suggests ways that teachers can create a learning context in which reading and writing become tools for finding out about the world--a context in which students become activie participants in their own learning.
