During Mr. Recio’s (Laureate Education, 2014a) interaction with his learners, it clearly can be seen how the exchange of oral language provides the learners vocabulary to increase their knowledge. Through modeling and exposure to rich text were they can build after the reading has …show more content…

This group of learners knows their letter sounds and are starting to build words on the sounds they hear and by segmenting the words.
