Described by reviewers as one of the most comprehensive and complete texts to be published in the field in years, Teaching the Language Arts provides readers with a truly balanced approach to the teaching of language arts with an emphasis on the arts themselves. Written with the belief that all children and teachers possess creative potential, the author masterfully integrates essential elements of phonics instruction with critical principles of literature-based instruction, namely literature, comprehension, writing, and oral language. Cramer's engaging writing style leaves readers feeling as though they "are in a conversation with the author" and clearly answers the question, "How can we teach Language Arts well?"

This volume explores the multiple and complex relationship between classrooms and literacy through four major themes: community, cognitive consequences, access, and power. Chapters emphasize community dynamics in exploring the relationship between classrooms and literacy. The work focuses on the ways in which literacy is used to establish and maintain community, to the relationship between communities both within and outside of the classroom, to the institutional context, to the community agenda and purpose, and to the needs of the community and individual members.
