Driving Cars, Thievery, and Basic Skills.
Romano, Tom
English Journal, v70 n7 p68-70 Nov 1981
Relates how a high school English teacher reorganized the "basic skills" course to reflect greater attention not to isolated skills and drill but to meaningful practice in reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Focuses on the technique of a "Reading Blitz"--five successive days of reading--to develop other language activities. (RL)
