Let’s Explore

Oral language (OL), sometimes called spoken language, includes speaking and
listening—the ways that humans communicate with one another. OL skills provide
the foundation for word reading and comprehension. They are at the heart of
listening and reading comprehension, serving as a predictor for both.

WHY ARE ORAL LANGUAGE SKILLS IMPORTANT?

1. Oral language is the foundation of written language

2. Reading is a language-based skill. The relationship between oral language and
reading is reciprocal with each influencing the other to varying degrees as
children progress through school.
3. You must be able to understand language at an oral level in order to be expected
to understand it at the text level.
4. It’s difficult to learn to read words if you do not know what they mean
5. Children with weak oral language skills are at risk for learning to read and
comprehend.
