The grammar which is concerned with meaning (the province of New Semantics), with its foundations in our perceptions of the surrounding world, can be learned in the elementary classroom through storytelling. Understanding of the sentence concept develops by allowing the child to use his language responsively and deliberately to organize the world he sees. Since this world has a narrative structure, the child can be led to express it, learning in the process sentence structure and, finally, story structure. (Included are a few simple drawings with suggestions for using them and a section of additional notes on teaching procedures.) (JM)
