Oral Language
Language is the process of speaking and listening to communicate meaning. Children learn language as they interact with responsive adults and peers and experience language use in meaningful texts.
ABC
Oral Language
Hart and Risley (1995) found:• There is a 600 word gap between high
SES children and low SES children.• Children need multiple opportunities to
use language throughout the day to bridge the gap.
ABC
We can do this by…
• Using language building strategies (labeling, describing, explaining, comparing and linking)
• Questioning that builds higher-level thinking skills
• Scaffolding to help a child to successfully complete a task
• Having conversations that introduce new vocabulary
