Oral language skills can be developed by:
Providing environments full of language development opportunities. Listening centers, books read aloud, asking questions, consulting with classmates, etc. Active learners are hardly ever silent.
Language Components
Phonological awareness
Phonology
Morphology
Syntax
Semantics
Pragmatics
Phonology:
Producing the basic sound units of language.
Phonological Awareness:
A broad skill that includes identifying and manipulating units of oral language – parts such as words, syllables, and onsets and rimes. Children who have phonological awareness are able to identify and make oral rhymes, can clap out the number of syllables in a word, and can recognize words with the same initial sounds like money and mother.
Morphology:
Word formation in language including inflection, derivation, and compounding.
Syntax:
The way in which words are put together to form phrases, clauses, or sentences.
Semantics:
Relating to meaning in language
Pragmatics:
The appropriate use of language; rules for communicating effectively and responding to the needs of one's listeners. Social context, including its effect on the interlocutors.
Phonemes:
The smallest linguistically distinctive units of sound.
When children are encouraged to participate in conversations they learn to:
Use spoken language for a variety of purposes.

Follow and give simple directions and instructions.

Ask and answer questions.

Use appropriate volume and speed when they speak.

Follow the rules of polite conversation, such as staying on a topic and taking turns.

Use language to express and describe their feelings and ideas.

Listen carefully for different purposes, such as to get information or for enjoyment.
Phonemic awareness:
refers to the specific ability to focus on and manipulate individual sounds (phonemes) in spoken words.
Onset (Part of spoken language)
One of two types of syllables. the initial consonant(s) sound of a syllable (the onset of bag is b-; of swim,is sw-).
Onset (Part of spoken language)
The initial consonant(s) sound of a syllable (the onset of bag is b-; of swim,is sw-).
Rime (Part of spoken language)
part of the syllable that contains the vowel and all that follows it (the rime of bag is –ag; of swim, -im).
Alphabetic Principle
The ability to associate sounds with letters and use these sounds to form words. (Ability to ID letter names and the sounds they produce)
Emergent Literacy
The earliest phase of literacy development; the period between birth and the time when children read and write conventionally.(Signals a beliege that, in a literate society, young children (even 1 and 2 year olds) are in the process of becoming literate). early unconventional attempts at reading and writing are respected as legitimate.
Graphophonemic knowledge
The understanding that written words are composed of patters of letters that represent the sounds of spoken words. Need this to understand the alphabetic principle.
Concepts of Print
Students must understand that printed language serves many purposes and is all around them; on signs, billboards, and labels, and in books, magazines, and newspapers.
Activities that teach print conventions:
Helping students practice turning pages, locating the tops and bottoms or pages, identifying the front and back cover of a book.
Letter-Sound correspondence
Student knows letter-sound or sound-symbol relationships. Student uses letter-sound knowledge to sound or decode words.
Word Analysis
The process of using the written patterns of speech to figure out unfamiliar words.
CVC
Consonant Vowel Consonant (cat, map, get)
CVCC
Consonant Vowel Consonant Consonant (Back, Lamp, Lock)
CVCe
Consonant Vowel Consonant Silent-E (Make, Joke, Fate)
Literacy
Both reading and writing. Suggests simultaneous development and mutually reinforcing effects of both aspects.
Decoding
Converting single letters and letter combinations into sounds and blending sounds to read words.
Structural Analysis (in decoding)
Process of interpreting word parts that make up a word. Using word parts enables the reader to determine the pronunciation and meaning of unknown words.
Blending (in decoding)
Consonants that are seen and heard together (buMP, STraw, PLaNT)
Sigh Words
Words that should be recognized "on sight" are those that are most useful whether they are regular or irregular. Memorized as whole words.
Read fluency
Ability to read a text accurately and quickly. fluent readers read aloud and with expression.
Intonation (in reading fluency)
The variation of tone used when speaking
Accuracy (in reading fluency)
Accurate decoding of words in text
Automaticity (in reading fluency)
Decoding words with minimal use of attentional resources.
Prosody (in reading fluency)
The appropriate use of phrasing and expression to convey meaning.
Steps in Reading Comprehension
1. Set comprehension objectives.
2. Focus on main ideas.
3. Pre-treach important vocab words.
4. Read the material in manageable chunks then ask questions on each chunk.
5. Use KWL strategy: discuss what I Know; what I Want to know; what I Learned.
Purpose of Questions BEFORE reading:
1. Elicit prior knowledge related to the core ideas of the story.
2. Make connections between what they know and the text theme or subject.
3. Set a purpose for the reading.
4. Construct predictions.
Purpose of questions DURING reading:
1. Clarify and review what has happened so far.
2. Confirm or create new predictions.
3. Evaluate the story critically and make personal connections.
4. Compare with other experiences or texts.
5. Monitor reading for meaning and accuracy.
Purpose of questions AFTER reading:
Extend reading experience by:
1. Reinforcing the concept that reading is for understanding meaning and making connections.
2. Model ways of thinking through and organizing the text information.
3. Think critically about the text.
4. Respond on a personal level.
5. Build awareness of common themes and structures in literature.
Writing Convention
A general agreement on or acceptance of a particular writing practice; a usage, format, spelling, acronym, etc. that a group accepts as true or correct by convention.
Writing Communication
To know that writing is a form of communication, such as letters, labels, books, poems, etc.
