Fostering Language Through Reading

Join us for Fostering Reading Through Language 📚
An abundance of research has proven that oral language is the “soil” in which reading grows. Children learn to map print to meaning most successfully when they have strong foundations in vocabulary, syntax, narrative knowledge, and listening comprehension. These skills support not only learning letter–sound relationships but also integrating words into coherent ideas. Across developmental research, early language differences are not a minor precursor but a major driver of later reading outcomes. Children who begin school with weaker oral language are more likely to follow risk trajectories in which decoding may develop unevenly and reading comprehension becomes increasingly fragile as texts and classroom discourse grow more linguistically complex. In other words, as academic demands shift from “learning to read” toward “reading to learn,” oral language increasingly determines how well students can infer, integrate background knowledge, and learn from text, in turn shaping long-term trajectories for achievement, engagement, and identification for support. The presentation emphasizes that strengthening oral language early through explicit instruction, rich interaction, and timely screening/intervention can change these pathways by reducing downstream comprehension difficulties and supporting more resilient, equitable reading development over time. ✨
