The author presents a practical methodology for teaching composition to young children, showing how expression can be taught through informal means such as storytelling and dramatization, while formality is taught through language drills and the correction of common errors. The author also emphasizes the slow and difficult nature of developing efficiency in oral expression among children, acknowledging the many factors that can influence a child's linguistic abilities. The insights provided by this book are significant for teachers and educators seeking to improve the teaching of composition in the early grades.
