Language Experience Approach and the Science of Literacy Instruction

This book considers Russell Stauffer's Language Experience Approach (LEA), an approach that must be judged by its impact on student learning and not on the age of conception. The nature of wholistic teaching in early childhood and beyond is explored, and developmental maturation for the different language tasks are explained.
