The Nexus of Emergent Literacy: Oral Langauge

Reading and writing does not happen in a communicative way for children unless they have the opportunity to hone their oral skills. This inexpensive book shoes you how to do it in simple, easy, ways. Again, all the theory is here from Cambourne to Smith to Routman to the phonics folks. You must understand it all to get to the meat of literacy and this book touches on all of their concepts in one way or another.
