Summary

Is a good how-to-do-it book for people who want to attempt journal writing as a tool for teaching the communication process of reading and writing. Is careful to point out that there is "no empirical evidence that journal writing or reading improves reading ability." Emphasizes that journal writing promotes communication (Peyton 1990). Type of communication used is coded language; writing and then reading.
