 DescriptionBaby elephants, which are called calves, do not need their trunks for the first few months of their lives. They drink milk from their mothers with their mouths. At first, they are clumsy, with their trunks swinging in front of them, so they need to learn how to use them. What are some of the ways an elephant uses its trunk? Author descriptionSeries editor and author of the Red Rocket reading program, Pam Holden has more than 30 years specialist experience in literacy. As a Reading Recovery teacher she has worked one-to-one with hundreds of children struggling with literacy. Pam's pupils have also included those approaching English as a second language, and children who are advanced and require extension. This experience has given the author a rare insight into the literacy process and has enabled her to identify many key elements that consistently block children's progress. |
