Summary
This book "builds on what children already can do. In this book you will see how the various nonfiction genres extend from children's use of oral language. Children interview, record data, make early reports, read information sources, and examine the world around them. The emphasis in this volume is on how to help children report on what they know in a voice that sounds like them."--Back cover
