• Oral language consists of phonology, morphology,vocabulary, and pragmatics.

• Children acquire oral language from birth on• Oral language development precedes literacy instruction,

then it parallels it. They support each other over time.

What is Oral Language?

“Oral language is the foundation on which reading is built, and it continues to serve this role as children develop as readers”

~Elfrieda Freddy’ Hiebert , 1998

DPS June School L eadership Week 2015 | Adapted from Student Achievement Partners’ Core Advocates ToolkitSchoolKit and Parcc Inc. | Denver Public Schools Grade PK EL A - S

By Talking!Talking to and with children supports them to…• Learn grammatical

structures• Expand their vocabularies• Learn metalinguistic skills

How do children develop oral language?

DPS June School L eadership Week 2015 | Adapted from Student Achievement Partners’ Core Advocates ToolkitSchoolKit and Parcc Inc. | Denver Public Schools Grade PK EL A - S

Why is oral language development so critical in early learners?

“In four years, an average child in a professional family would accumulate experience with 45 million words, an average child in a working class family 26 million words, and an average child in a welfare family 13 million words.”

Hart and Risley, 1999

DPS June School L eadership Week 2015 | Adapted from Student Achievement Partners’ Core Advocates ToolkitSchoolKit and Parcc Inc. | Denver Public Schools Grade PK EL A - S

Stop and Jot• What did you hear in the research about oral language

development that either verifies or modifies your beliefs about teaching oral language development?

• Share one idea form the research that could impact how you teach oral language to your emergent bilingual students
