Oral language provides a foundation for the development of all reading and writing skills. Based on years of classroom experience, this book shows how to implement engaging oral language activities — such as choral reading, reader’s theater, poetry, presentations, and structured conversations about books — throughout the curriculum and school day. Teachers learn 26 specific ways to use speaking and listening to support the development of comprehension, vocabulary, and fluency. The book features step-by-step instructions for using each activity with students in grades K-6.
