“A word without Meaning is merely a sound”

No 2 June 2025

Prof Joseph Wright (1855-1930)

Quotes by Lois Letchford (?)

“Mary Clay said it: “I chose to define reading as a message-getting, problem-solving activity, and writing as a message-sending, problem-solving activity. Both activities involve linking invisible patterns of oral language with visible symbols.”
