Description

1. Oral language develops in younger children by children starting out by making throaty sounds to babbling. Then they start imitating a broader range of sounds. Around about 8 months of age children begin to narrow their ear to a distinctive set of individual sounds constituting their primary language (Kostelnik, 2019). When children reach a year of age, they can show off different words they have learned and babble sentences that have meaning to them. Neural connections grow dramatically before 18 months and repetitive language occurs where 12 words can be learned a day.
Once they get about 20 months children realize that things in the world have a name so they will ask èatàthat?! lot. Early interactions that children have with significant people in their life, their socio-economic environment, and disabilities they may have help shape their oral language development. How often parents engage in talking to their children and the quality of the talk increases a childàvocabulary skills (Kostelnik, 2019). It also enhances their processing skills helping them learn more language faster and build skills for later literacy (Kostelnik, 2019).
2. The connection between oral language and emerging literacy is the growth of phonological awareness which is the understanding that oral language can be divided into smaller components and manipulated (Kostelnik, 2019). It is an auditory and oral process that grows starting with a childàability to hear and then generate rhythm (Kostelnik, 2019). Then they start learning phonemic awareness where the stream of speech consists of a sequence of individual sounds or phonemes that can be used to create new words by segmenting, blending, or changing the sounds. Phonemic awareness becomes the most powerful influence on their success in learning how to decode unfamiliar words and how to spell. When children accomplish well-developed phonological awareness, they have greater automaticity that allows reading to become more fluent and speedy (Kostelnik, 2019).
Children that develop good listening skills increases their chances on being able to detect sounds in language. The emerging development of various literary skills follow definite sequences that are highly interactive, social processes. Adults can aide by scaffolding literacy tasks with young children must have expertise with respect to child development and knowledge about sequence in which literacy skills emerge (Kostelnik, 2019). When children start emergent writing, they progress through various stages. Scaffolding children from lower to higher level skills help children move to attaining sophisticated skills (Kostelnik, 2019).

Oral language develops in young children at a rapid rate from infancy. Oral language is a built in and genetically hardwired into people’s brains. At four months, children make babbling sounds, that turns into a lot more sounds around 8 months old. When a child is one, they usually will be able to speak a few words and sentences that maybe only their parents will understand. At 18 months, children can speak up to 12 words a day. At 20 months, children will ask “what’s that?” and will begin to realize that everything has it’s own word to it. Depending on a child’s development, they will have a strong quality and quantity of language, or a very poor one. This is why it is so important to read and talk to your children when they are young so they are familiar with words and talking. Before age three, children can shake their heads “no”. Between 2-3 years old, children will have so much more expressive speech and a huge burst in their language development. This can range from 200-1000 words and can even grow to 3000 words. They will recognize and develop phonological awareness. They will enjoy rhyme and repetition with playful and silly uses of language and even songs. Between ages 3-5, children’s 1000 word vocabulary will grow rapidly. A child’s understanding and application of syntactic structures will grow and they will begin pluralizing irregular verbs. Between 5-7 years old, they will have a 2500 word vocabulary. They may still have a hard time pronouncing their i,r, and sh sounds. They will realize that words have more than one meaning to them sometimes. Beyond 7 years of age, children will have grammar skills that are close to adult’s skills. They will enjoy talking about what they enjoy doing and their language development will continue to grow. From here on out, children will learn 3000 words a year throughout their elementary career.
There is a connection between language and emerging literacy. This has so much to do with children learning to read and write, pared along with their knowledge of words they will speak. We all learned about songs (hearing and singing), listening to stories, seeing pictures of different representations, and learning letters, words and other things like books dealing with reading. Really, we all watched family members talk and communicate and this was probably the base of our literacy. In order to gain proper literacy development, we would have had to engage in rich literacy experiences. At the preschool and kindergarten rate, children get a sense of phonological awareness. Children will learn all about alphabetical awareness, alliterations, graphemes, onset and rime, phonemes, phonemic awareness, phonics, phonological awareness, and prosody. Phonological awareness is they key to helping children to spell, read, and communicate in literacy.
