Title: Webinar: Understand the Critical Role of Oral Language in Reading for Your Title I and ELL Students
Body: From https://vts.inxpo.com/scripts/Server.nxp?LASCmd=AI:4;F:QS!10100&ShowKey=16641&partnerref=enl&cmp=ENL-TU-WEBINAR Understand the Critical Role of Oral Language in Reading for Your Title I and ELL Students This event takes place on Tuesday, Oct. 22, 2013, 3 to 4 p.m. ET. Research has shown that oral language has a profound impact on children's preparedness for kindergarten and on their success throughout their academic career. Children typically enter school with a wide range of background knowledge and oral-language ability, attributable in part to factors such as children’s experiences in the home and their socioeconomic status. As a result, Title I and English-language-learner subgroups typically face a gap in academic ability that tends to persist or grow throughout their school experience. Learn from two administrators—Pam Howard and Shawn Parkhurst—about their strategies for oral language development, which include a focus on foundational comprehension and vocabulary to address students who lack exposure to English language and have limited background experiences.
