DISTAR LANGUAGE SERIES – serie

Language for Learning helps develop strong language skills and give young children and ESL students a solid foundation for literacy.

Language for Learning provides practice in vocabulary, word and sentence variety, the development of precise word knowledge, and in hard to teach concepts such as some/all/none and same/different.
