I too find this conversation quite interesting. From the perspective of a special education teacher, I really see that my students struggle with language. When I get them as sixth graders they apparently have had years of workbook pages and very little real opportunities to experience rich text and develop their abilities to process. As I help them improve their language understanding, the total reading process improves. June
