Child's Talk: Learning to Use Language

THIS VOLUME was originally intended to be a collection of selected papers, written in the decade after 1972. The original plan was to rework and to rewrite them individuatly, to create a book of essays. In the process those earlier papers were absorbed into a more general framework, though traces of them can still be found. They became a single book. Its themes are how the young child acquires the wes of his native language and how by using language first for limited ends the child comes finally to recognize its more powerful, productive uses.

Parent's Guide to Primary School: How to Get the Best Out of Your Child's EducationA well-written, compelling, meticulously researched resource for parents everywhere. How can I choose the best primary school for my child? What can I do to become more involved in their education? Where should I go for help if my child is having a problem at school?

Even if you're a relatively young parent, it's likely that the education your child is embarking on will be very different from the one you received. This book helps you make sense of primary schools today by providing pratical advice and information rather than jargon and theory.

What happened then?What happened then?

What happened then...? These three words set the pace for weaving that magical feeling of wonder, mystery, surprise, contentment, which is associated with storytime—that wonderfully warm, assuring time-capsule that children look forward to sharing with parents, grandparents and siblings!
In this collection we have clubbed four stories that evoke that sense of wonder and excitement in the child readers and listeners, coaxing them to ask the perennial question: "What happened then...?" A chick gets lost... A hoopoe confronts a migrating visitor... A barber has a 'close shave'...
