| Summary: | An instructional program was designed to improve the oral language skills of kindergarten students. The target group consisted of 10 students who, according to their scores on the Yellow Brick Road Language Battery, were in need of a strong language development program. The instructional plan was based on the Shared Book Experience and other components of the Whole Language Approach. Also included in the project was a parent involvement program. The Test of Language Development-Primary, an oral skills checklist, and a parental log were used to measure the effectiveness of the programs. Results of these measures indicated that exposure to the Whole Language Approach successfully improved the oral language skills of the target group. It was also concluded that exposure to a structured parent involvement program significantly increased the level of parent involvement. (Sixteen references are attached. Appendixes include materials and activities used in both the instructional and parent involvement programs and the oral skills checklist.) (Author/SR) |
