Creating the Conditions to Encourage Literate Thinking.
Wells, Gordon
Educational Leadership, v47 n6 p13-17 Mar 1990

To achieve full literacy for all students, students must use texts to empower action, thinking, and feeling in the context of purposeful social activity. Includes 26 references. (MLH)
