Prosody is the fundamental organizing principle of spoken language, carrying lexical, morphosyntactic, and pragmatic information. It, therefore, provides highly relevant input for language development. Are infants sensitive to this important aspect of spoken language early on? In this study, we asked whether infants are able to discriminate…

Although word recognition and spelling are needed to fully actualize these skills, the oral language aspects of reading and writing can be taught and practiced without text. Oral storytelling is good for all students, but it may be essential for students with…

Students must use oral and written explanations to demonstrate their grasp of academic content, but little is known about the progression of elementary students' explanatory language, particularly oral language. The current study of 512 explanations produced by 128 third- through sixth-grade students examines whether children's oral explanations…

Rackley, Lea; Bradford, Tishawn – Literacy, 2022
This paper imagines oracy education as a reaching-out for connection with the irreducible socialities of black study.

We argue that…

We examined the concurrent validity of the Preschool Early Literacy Indicators (PELI®) with 105 New Zealand (NZ) five-year-old children entering primary school. PELI® incorporates oral language and emergent literacy tasks into a picture-book that is administered as a shared adult-child read-aloud activity. In this study, PELI® administration and…
