Author Description

Chatterbox develops early literacy skills with fiction and nonfiction books that focus on the development of oral language skills and fluency. Perfect for oral language development, these little books help build a strong foundation for future reading success. Each grade level offers children many opportunities to interact with text they can understand in engaging books that are leveled according to DRA, Intervention, and Guided Reading. Chatterbox delights young learners with pattern, rhythm, rhyme, and repetition, while drawing from their prior knowledge, putting their reading strategies into play, and inspiring them to share their post-reading ideas with others. The books' attractive illustrations, photographs, captions, and labels support the reading process, and the accessible texts use vocabulary familiar to young readers.
