The connection between speaking and readingTo make sound / symbol connections between spoken word and printed word you have to be familiar with the sound

Children who are having trouble producing sound will have great difficulty becoming phonologically aware

The connection between speaking and reading (cont.)Broad oral vocabulary also helps children learn to read.Early readers check word symbols against a mental dictionary. If that dictionary is limited, reading is harder

Vocabulary, word knowledge, and knowledge of concepts are the building blocks of reading that are provided by early talking

Daily verbal interactions and Family Stories Support ReadingShare a story about how families use recipes to build childrens early literacy skills.
