Proper VFR Radio Contacts procedure before and during a flight

[JasonM]

I am just getting into my training and was wondering this. What is the process that is expected for VFR flights to communicate from a to z.

Lets assume, I already filed my flight plan and just got into my airplane. What is the proper procedure I should be making?

I would recommend the book "Say Again, Please" by Bob Gardner. Amazon link:

It addresses who, when, and how.
