Oral Language and Comprehension in Preschool

By Kathleen A. Roskos, Lesley M. Morrow and Linda B. Gambrell (Guilford Press, £16.99)

Creative, hands-on strategies for developing speaking, listening and oral comprehension skills in pre-schools. The language is offputting, with ‘lesson ideas’ and ‘students’, nonetheless there are useful sections such as ideas for discussion, reflection and action, and ways to support literacy development at home. Reproducible forms and checklists can be downloaded and printed.
