Children who do not develop strong oral language skills during

preschool, will fall behind even before they start school.

Hart & Risley, 2003

Snow, Burns & Griffin, 1998

Teachers who are aware of oral language development will be more

effective in raising children’s oral language development to new and

higher levels as the children progress through school and the demands

for oral communication increase.

Snow, Griffin & Burns, 2005

National Early Literacy Panel report (NELP, 2008) showed that children

need to learn the building blocks of oral language foundations for and

beyond the alphabetic code. Higher level oral language skills develop

long before a child learns to read.

What is literate oral language?It is the combination of:

Macro-structure

The overall organization of a narrative (story) or

expository text (information) selection

&

Micro-structure

The linguistic complexity of sentences that

make up the macro-structure

Elements of micro-structure connect

the elements of macro-structure. Copyright © 2014 • Maryellen Rooney Moreau • 1-888-228-9746

Two broad classes of language skills

have been identified as important for

later reading performance (literacy):

Code related skills:

• Phonological Awareness,

• Letter naming,

• Decoding,

• Emergent writing…

Oral language processes:

• The skill sets of vocabulary (receptive and expressive);

• Syntactic knowledge

• Semantic (schema/script) knowledge, and

• Narrative discourse processes (memory, comprehension

and storytelling).

“Broad Oral Language Skills should be an

integral part of reading instruction

beginning in preschool and throughout

elementary school.”

“If comprehensive language skills directly feed

nascent reading, then interventions and

assessments that focus only on phonemic

awareness and vocabulary development will

prove too narrow to support later academic

achievement…”

reading: Evidence from a longitudinal model. Developmental Psychology, 38, 934-947.Copyright © 2014 • Maryellen Rooney Moreau • 1-888-228-9746

language use, emotional expression and

social cognition in an integrated social and

academic context.”

intervention. LSHSS, 38, 128-139.

“Children’s narrative abilities have been

measured by tasks requiring recalling details

from stories, retelling stories, and generating

stories. Performance on all three of these

tasks has been prospectively linked to

reading ability.”

(Benson, 2009, p. 176).

“We dream, remember,

anticipate, hope, despair, love,

hate, believe, doubt, plan,

construct, gossip and learn in

narrative.”

“The largest body of work in the area of

narrative intervention has focused on explicit

teaching of the story grammar structure, with

evidence of improved narrative performance

in both preschool-aged and school-aged

children with and without language and

learning difficulties.”

(Boudreau, 2008, p. 110).

One well-known narrative researcher, Carol Westby (Word of Mouth,

2003) described the impact of Story Grammar Marker®:

“When children tell a story, they must keep in mind the overall gist of

the story they are telling, while simultaneously organizing each

utterance, linking the utterances together in a temporal/causal

sequence, and making certain that all utterances link to the theme and

overall organization of the story. The Story Grammar Marker®

reduces load on working memory by externalizing the global structure

and sequence of components in stories. This allows students to

concentrate on translating their ideas into words and sentences to

convey the content of each element of the story” (p. 12).
