摘要：Whole language is a dynamic and generative philosophy of education that started as a grass roots teacher
movement. Throughout its history it has been lauded worldwide as well as being attacked. This article
explores whole language through two lenses. First it examines the history of whole language through the
eyes of someone who participated in the grass-roots movement. Secondly, the future of whole language
is examined through the voices of whole language and literacy leaders. Their answers to questions about
whole language¡¯s fit with progressive education, its greatest accomplishment and its future direction
offer support and encouragement for progressive, holistic educators around the world.
