Essential Early Years Oral Language Starter Pack

$280.52 (inc. $20.08 GST)
Code: EEYOL
Year Level: Early Years

In the Early Years, vocabularies are growing daily, sentences are becoming longer and the children’s sense of wonder about the world around them grows. As such, for children aged 3 to 4, this is an essential time for oral language development and this Early Years Oral Language Starter Pack will support their growth.

PLD recommends the four resources in this Oral Language Starter Pack to aid teachers with introducing 3 and 4-year-olds into the world of words. The resources cover the essentials for writing preparation including activity retells, news telling, show and tell, oral comprehension, language games for vocabulary expansion and semantic knowledge.

The Early Years Oral Language Starter Pack contains:

What is Oral Language

Oral language refers to the act of speaking and listening. The main components for oral language skills include word knowledge (vocabulary); sentence structure (grammar); language understanding (semantic and comprehension ability); and structured thinking (or the ability to elaborate, organise and sequence thoughts).

While poor oral language skills do not prevent children from reading, the long-term impact is concerning. By middle primary school, when both the curriculum and reading material increase in difficulty, a significant number of students will struggle to keep up with the demands of the curriculum if they have poorly developed language skills.

Why Focus on Literacy and Oral Language Simultaneously

PLDโ€™s method is derived from the disciplines of speech pathology, occupational therapy and education. As an Australian publisher and professional development provider, PLD advocates that literacy and learning outcomes are maximised for children when their Literacy, Oral Language and Movement & Motor skills are targeted.

Why the need to focus on all three areas? Literacy involves more than just recognising words on a page. To be truly literate students need to be able to speak well, interpret what theyโ€™re hearing, and transfer all of this information into written language. Itโ€™s this broad three-skill focus that sets PLDโ€™s resources apart.
