Why is exposure to sophisticated spoken words so important?
Oral language drives vocabulary acquisition and retention, which is a key component of reading proficiency. Yet most students lack repeated exposure to sophisticated spoken words. As a result, most students do not have a large enough vocabulary to be proficient readers, which explains why nearly two-thirds of all U.S. 4th graders struggle with reading.
