through fourth grade utilizing case-study methodology. In the students’ classroom,
considerable emphasis was put on using literature to establish an intertextual basis
for student learning. The students’ texts were scored by a group of teachers using a
rubric specifically designed for word choice to analyze verbs and adjectives, lexical
individuality, and lexical diversity, as additions to the more traditional word counts.
These categories were discussed, and many were found fruitful for tracing
