PURPOSEFUL TALK is also one of the main ways in which children develop their understanding of new concepts. As such, it becomes the KINGPIN around which instructional tasks revolve. It is INTEGRAL TO ALL COMPONENTS OF A LESSON- from teacher modeling and guiding to BOTH COLLABORATIVE AND INDEPENDENT TASKS. �

• always, always link their talk to reading and writing�
