Intended as a guide for educators interested in developing oral communication programs, this booklet contains activities and assessment instruments for use at all grade levels from prekindergarten through senior high school. The first section presents activities designed to develop oral communication skills and check lists to assess those skills. Within this section, the skills are divided into three categories: speaking, listening, and social (the use of spoken language to demonstrate sociocultural courtesies). The second section contains additional assessment instruments designed to measure specific skills such as interviewing, public speaking, and group discussion. The final section provides a list of resources on oral communication assessment. (FL)
