\nAs a proof of concept, we are focusing on the language function \u201cexplanation\u201d, initially for the K-5 grade
\nrange. The progression will not be described exclusively by grade level expectations, but rather by key,
\npotentially overlapping phases of language development. To begin with, we are examining verbatim
\nexplanations that are contained in the existing literature on language development.<\/p>\n
