Now is the perfect time to hone oral language skills. As a result of disrupted learning in 2020, many students missed opportunities to build these crucial skills. In this interactive workshop, you’ll learn practical strategies to help children develop and improve their oral language skills.

With strong oral language skills, children can confidently:

  • Express their feelings, thoughts, and ideas
  • Ask questions
  • Process and deliver instructions
  • Receive new information and interact with others

Learning Outcomes

  • Create a learning environment where students can learn listening and speaking skills.
  • Generate discussions that build oral language and meaning-making skills.
  • Integrate peer learning strategies to encourage oral language practice.
  • Teach and model oral language skills to foster early literacy abilities in all students.
