Here is a book that provides opportunities for realistic oral language practice in a variety of home and community situations. The book includes 312 activities for role-playing and/or discussion. The activities correlate highly with national and state instructional curriculum standards. Reproducible game cards include situations for students to talk about and/or act out.
The lessons are organised into 26 topics. Being tactful, clarifying vague statements, giving orders, helping others with directions, and offering compliments are among the topics included. The activities challenge students to think about appropriate and inappropriate ways of interacting as they use language functionally for specific purposes.
Ages 8 through 17.
