This booklet provides a set of learning objectives and a continuum of skills, to facilitate development of a diagnostic/prescriptive program in oral-language development. Listening skills for response to sounds, rhymes and poems, directions, and stories are defined. Also included are an individual student profile, a class profile, additional prescriptive activities, a listing of commercial materials to supplement the program, and a bibliography. Appendixes provide examples of "fingerplays" (exercises combining speaking and hand movements), rhymes and poems, short stories, and choral readings. (KS)
