Oral Language Development
   Oral Language Development is the common thread    that runs through every page of Beginning Steps    for Learning at Home and at School: a Parent    Guide-a Teacher Tool by Cheryl Kay Hoefler.  Many    opportunities are present in each subject area to    stretch the child’s vocabulary and comprehension.    Verbs such as demonstrate, describe, and    identify are used on the skill pages so the student    can become familiar with specific language.
