Oral language begins developing in children prior to school but because it provides the foundation for literacy it requires attention in the classroom as well. Vocabulary is highly related to reading comprehension and, like the other key elements of reading, should have explicit and systematic instruction within a rich language and literacy program.

The session examines:
✅ Scientific research evidence on oral language and vocabulary development
✅ The role of oral language and vocabulary in reading
✅ Evidence-based instruction for whole class, small groups, and one-to-one
✅ Assessment of oral language and vocabulary
✅ Vocabulary and struggling readers
