Language development and literacy are unquestionably essential to the entire growth of children. It enhances capacity to communicate, express, and comprehend the emotions of children. Additionally, it enhances your child’s capacity to think, improves effective communication skills and helps them build and sustain connections.
A child’s spoken language development is intimately tied to his or her literacy. Numerous studies have been conducted on this issue, and they have all shown that early literacy is directly related to language development in early years-aged infants.
The relationship between the two is quite natural, long before a child learns to read words and identify symbols, facial expressions he or she develops and perfects the abilities necessary to comprehend how language functions. In addition, before the age of eight, infants understand that speech has patterns and symbols have meaning, laying the groundwork for oral child-directed speech and literacy development. Therefore, good phraseology development is essential for subsequent reading accomplishment.
However, many children have expressive speech disorders or language difficulties due to a variety of causes, resulting in ineffective vocabulary and they become late talkers that cause them to lag far behind their classmates. Consequently, sufficient exposure to organized and age-appropriate teaching throughout the early years of spoken language and literacy development assists in closing the gap in language impairment.
Promoting language development and oracy in the classroom
Reading and writing flow on a foundation of talk. Providing a bedrock of opportunities to practice speaking can be seen as a gateway to advancing literacy outcomes. If we really want to promote better grammatical structures in our students’ writing, then we need to put more attention on promoting speaking opportunities for our pupils. Oracy can be seen as the ability of children to express themselves clearly through the spoken word. Many schools are now starting to promote this fundamental principle systematically across their institutions. Facilitating consistency in speech does take time, but many schools see positive outcomes in areas such as the use of complex grammar when they place oracy higher up the curriculum agenda.
