This comprehensive resource uses children's favorite books as the context for development and practice of articulation and language skills. Forty popular children's stories have been analyzed for developmentally appropriate phonemes, language structures and concepts.

Presented in general order of increasing difficulty, the articulation and language activities allow specialists and teachers to target specific goals while integrating listening, thinking, speaking and reading skills.

For each of the 40 stories, the following reproducible materials are provided:

• Articulation activities

Artic & Lit may be used with children in preschool through grade three as well as with non-English speakers and children at risk for learning and language. As a tool for collaboration, these materials are excellent for speech and language specialists, special and regular education teachers, Chapter I teachers, teachers of the hearing impaired and other professionals. Plus, what a creative way to encourage parent participation!
