Oral Language
Oral language refers to the act of speaking and listening. The main components for the oral language skill set include; Word knowledge - vocabulary, Sentence structure – grammar, Language understanding – semantic and comprehension ability, and Structured thinking – elaborate, organise and sequence thoughts. No two children are alike, each possessing their own abilities and capabilities. It’s an important distinction and one we work extremely hard to foster. The goal at PLD Learning Resources is to maximise the literacy potential of each and every child. By concentrating on a broader view of literacy, we ensure educators and parents can help a child exploit their ability to the full extent of their capability.
