"Oral language encompasses both speaking and listening. Oral language skills include learning how spoken words sound, what words and sentences mean, and how to communicate ideas. Nurturing oral language skills provides a strong foundation for learning to read."
Our teachers are simply amazing! Their professionalism and dedication to improve their student's learning is next to none. They have been taking a very intense science of reading course called LETRS this year, and have been implementing that learning in their daily lessons. Recently we watched a video about the importance of assisting our students to speak in complete sentences, rather than phrases. Here is just one example from Ms. Smith's Classroom this morning. I am one of the luckiest principals on this planet to have such an amazing team!
