Instructional Scaffolding: Reading and Writing as Natural Language Activities.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Applebee, Arthur N.; Langer, Judith A. – Language Arts, 1983
Discusses a model for teaching reading and writing in which skilled language users provide support for new language activities in context. Gives examples of typical classroom activities that provide too little or too much support for natural language growth and of activities with a balanced instructional "scaffolding." (HTH)
