~I found this 'term' Sunday evening, October 2nd at 10pm when I was reading "Friendly Texts and Text-Friendly Teachers (2001) written by Mariam Jean Dreher and Harry Singer. "Any grammatical element that relates one sentence or paragraph to another provides cohesion to a text..." (Dreher and Singer, 2001, pg. 99)
~This term meanings joining together or making something flow for the ability to be comprehensible.
~My level of familiarity with this word is considerable as I often hear the term used in my field but most times I am uncertain as to what it means. The term cohesive is often used frequently as well.
~I am interested in learning this term because I think it is a term that I will often hear and perhaps often use in the future throughout my teaching career.
~I believe it is another academic term that teachers, and especially Literacy coaches should be well aware of given the duties of the Literacy Coach and working with texts and books.
