Can a Toucan Hoot Too? A Phonemic Awareness Tale
Lavelle Carlson
Hardcover
(Children's Publishing, Feb. 2, 2003)
This is the first in a series of fun scintillating and stimulating stories written by a speech/language pathologist and devoted to increasing early childhood reading skills through research tested methods. The young curious girl desires to know what sound a toucan can make. She is finally successful in getting her grandfather to put his paper down to take her to see just exactly what a toucan can do. In the process of her search and that of the child listener, she and the listener also learn sound, phonemic awareness, and language skills that are prerequisites for early reading.
