Audio-Visual Stories: Pre-Reading Activities For Bilingual Children, Oran J. Stewart

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The children arrive at the reading lab, exclaiming in a mixture of Navajo and English, expressing their enthusiasm, when they see the filmstrip projector and the tape-player ready for use. Some of them rush to the tape-player to read the title of the story from the cassette. Others try to obtain a copy of the text for the story.
