Description: "In their opening chapter, Nelson and Calfee show that the practice of separating instruction in reading from that in writing has been a dominant feature in schools in the United States since colonial times. This volume questions that separation, and suggests that instruction in the language arts can be enhanced by integrating reading, writing, and language."--Jacket.
