ORAL LANGUAGE - Pam

Developmental oral language effects students further in their lives. Children with low oral language abilities are viewed more as behavioural not that there are gaps in their oral language development.

'Limits of my language are limits of/in my world'.

• Give opportunities for extended discussions with children.

Resources

• Oral language expectations - Learning Through Talk (MOE Doc) 
  
• Much More Than Words

Writers Notebook

• When writing start with a true story, then add lies
• Kids need time to write
• Incubate ideas - private place to store things, triggers, snatches of talk, lists, artifactes
• Boys are real collectors
• Rereading the notebook - high comfort, no risk
• Engaging boy writers - Girls often play the game where boys wont.  Boys will write for each other
• Boys like fantasy and violence
• Girls will draw nouns - boys will draw verbs
