Collaborative Conversations: Speaking and Listening in the Primary Grades

As part of a collaborative study, a first-grade teacher and two university-based researchers, set a goal to facilitate meaningful, student-led discussions about literature. In this article the authors share several strategies they found successful in enhancing the speaking and listening skills of a class of 28 first graders who came from diverse linguistic, economic, and social backgrounds.
