#### 󠀁[Oral Language Festivals](https://kerncountylibrary.org/pick-an-oral-language-piece/)󠁿

Schools all over Kern County participate in the Oral Language Festival, a competitive
event where students perform interpretations of a piece of literature in front of
an audience. Literature selections must be published works that are available to
all students. Pieces from organizational newsletters, the Internet, and regional
newspapers are not acceptable. Overall, _most published works are appropriate Oral
Language texts_ and you can choose _any book you like!_ Pieces must be in 3-5 minutes
in length, so you may edit the piece to an appropriate length. Since new titles 
are continuously available, any picture book found in the Children’s area is a good
place to start. Pieces should be appropriate for age, event, and presentation to
a community audience. Be sure to check out [YouTube for videos of past Oral Language winners](http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=kern+oral+language)!
