Boosting Early Language as a Foundation for Literacy – 

Essential but neither Simple nor Easy

  Successful literacy development and educational attainment involves more than learning to decode words. In  order to follow the curriculum and acquire new knowledge and skills, children must understand the language  used  by  teachers  as  well  as  understand  what  they  read.  Oral  language  skills  are  therefore  important  for  children’s communication, literacy development, and school participation. The talk will focus on boosting oral  language as a foundation for literacy and draw on different school‐based work from relevant research projects  in the UK (e.g. the Nuffield Early Language Intervention projects). The focus will be on supporting children in the  Early Years (UK nursery and Reception) so they build a stronger oral language foundation for entering school.  Different  populations  of  pupils  (monolingual  children  with  language  weaknesses  as  well  as  children  learning  English as an additional language (EAL)) will be considered. The talk will emphasize the importance as well as  challenges of early interventions to provide children with a secure language foundation for school participation.  Conclusions are drawn for the practice of supporting monolingual children with language weaknesses as well as  children with EAL in preschool settings.
