Paying attention to language
The author asserts that the practice of literacy education should be informed by linguistic theory. When teachers pay attention to language the way linguists do, they gain an understanding of the relation between children's spoken language competence and their written language acquisition

The syntactic density score revisited
The Syntactic Density Score (SDS) is an index of language complexity computed from 10 variously weighted component variables. The SDS has been criticized as being redundant with one of its own component variables, as being arbitrarily weighted, and as having a serious scoring anomaly. The purposes of this study were to determine if group effects would be found by using the raw scores of the 10 variables without the weightings and to see which of …
Beginning first graders' “invented spelling” ability and their performance in functional classroom writing activities
The Roles of Expectation and Syntactic Knowledge in Second and Fourth Graders' Comprehension of Complex Sentences
Second and fourth graders were tested, using a picture selection test, for comprehension of complex sentences. Pictures were withheld from subjects until after they showed that they understood the input sentence. Sentences were clefts and pseudoclefts with relative clauses minus markers and auxiliaries. Sentences were either passive or active and their noun-verb-noun relations were either according to children's expectations or contrary to expect…
