"Reading-Writing Connections: From Theory to Practice, Second Edition, is an extraordinary language arts methods text that enables elementary and middle school teachers to create classroom environments where all students can become lifelong readers and writers. Focusing on developmentally appropriate methods and materials, this remarkably readable book empowers a new generation of teachers to integrate reading, writing, listening, and speaking in K-8 classrooms. Heller's highly accessible writing style makes Reading-Writing Connections suitable as the primary text for undergraduate and graduate courses in language arts, reading, writing, and literacy."--Jacket.
