BBC Radio 4 - Word of Mouth, 14/04/2009

What can be done to help keep storytelling alive between parents and children?

It is important for parents to read to their children, but, thanks partly to school literacy targets, many children actually spend more time reading to their parents.

Michael Rosen takes another journey into the world of words, language and the way we speak.
