Oracy vs Literacy
• Oracy has to do with oral expression and
comprehension.
• Literacy has to do with the use of reading and writing in
written communication.
• Although both are considered opposite each other, but
they complement and facilitate each other’s growth and
development to help learners become literate people
who con- tribute to the progress of society by
productively performing the expectations of their own
social context.
About ORACY AND LITERACY
Two concepts of oracy:
First- it refers to the ability to express oneself in spoken
language.
Second-it is also the ability to understand spoken language.
Therefore, these two reflect the connection between
speaking and listening, in a way that the language children
hear/listen to becomes familiar to them. which mostly
consequently influences their speech.
How important is oracy for literacy
• The role of oracy is to bridge children’s literacy
development.
• This means that their everyday lan- guage use and
encounters in communication should not be limited to
speaking and listening alone, but there must be a
purposive, deliberate instruction that allows them to see
the role of reading and writing in their daily
communication and real-Life functions.
• To do this, they must realize that societies rely heavily
not only on oral communication but more so on written
communication to put the message across.
Gunning Principles for guiding the
literacy development
1. Reading, writing, speaking, listening, and thinking
develop simultaneously as learn- ers grow into literacy.
2. Individuals learn to read and write by reading, writing,
and responding to their reading and writing
3. Prior knowledge and background are major elements in
one’s ability to construct meaning.
4.Comprehension is the process of constructing meaning
by relating ideas from a text to one’s prior knowledge
and background
Cooper Alphabetic Principle
• Learners have to understand the concept called
alphabetic principle, explain- ing to them that what they
say can be written down by using symbols that
represent the sounds in spoken words, stringing them
together to stand for the words that they say. This un-
derstanding is aided by the learners' knowledge of
concepts about print, which are the rules required to
record oral language into
Language divided into four categories books. Sentences,
words, and letters
• Books: cover; title, author, illustrator; beginning, ending; left/right
orientation; top/ bottom orientation; print tells stories, not pictures
• Sentences: identifies sentence; beginning, ending; capital letter
at beginning; punctuation, period, comma, question mark,
quotations, exclamation
• Words: identities words
• Letters: letter order; upper and lower case
• The teachers’ skills in planning for oracy literacy Instruction
should also be honed so that children’s use of oral language can
find a significant piece in their learning experiences characterized
as fun-filled, enjoyable and satisfying as they are integrated in the
children’s real-life contexts.

Approaches and Strategies in Teaching for
Comprehension
• Comprehension, according to Durkin (1993), is the essence of
reading, without which there is no reading done at all. This goes
to show that it is the heart and goal of reading instruction.
• Teachers play importance in planning and facilitating the
teaching-learning
process of comprehension because:
1. The teacher serves as a model of everyday language use. What
is
communicated and how it is communicated are important.
2. The teacher is a provider of experiences. Many of these events
are planned;
others happen in normal course of activities.
3. The teacher is an interactor, sharing experiences with the

Provider of learning experiences
When you conduct read and loud and shared writing activities-
teachers act as a coach and model of grammar usage, and spelling
By taking part in shared reading literature discussion circles and
reader response activities- teachers serve as interactors
Teachers should serve as experts in planning themes assisting learners
in using their wealth of experience in relation to story and supporting
them in reading and responding to literature in appropriate always.
Reading Aloud
