This landmark text is the first introduction to concepts and issues in critical discourse analysis for educational researchers. The central premise is that critical discourse analysis must be conducted "systematically," which means conducting inquiry into the ways in which language form and function correlate with social practices. Bringing together the work of New Literacy Studies, situated literacy, critical discourse theory and analysis with theories of learning, the text is distinctive in providing not just useful analytic accounts of discourse in classroom and other settings, but going on to identify ways in which these forms of language are connected to theories of learning.

This book will help young kids to learn to count quickly as they enjoy different scenes from the Little House books.
The reader counts the one house, two trees, three books, and other objects found in accounts of the frontier and pioneer life of Laura Ingalls Wilder and her family.
