| Abstract: | Neil Mercer explores the importance of classroom dialogue for children's development. He raises concerns about the lack of social interaction that some children experience at home and stresses the importance of providing all children with the opportunity to take part in good classroom discussion, the characteristics of which he explores. He discusses the outcomes of his classroom-based research projects, "Thinking Together" and advises teachers on how they might provide opportunities for reasoned discussion in their classroom.
