This book has four main teaching goals in assisting students to improve their expressive language skills:
Section 1: Students talk about their lives, themselves, their ideas and experiences.
Section 2: Students are guided to talk in connected sentences . . . . how things are the same or different, “tell all they can” about objects and animals, where people go, etc.
Section 3: Students use picture pages to express their thoughts about what they see, sentence by sentence.
Section 4: Two familiar stories are presented with pictures. The students are encouraged to retell the story in narrative form
