OVERVIEW
Listening and speaking are seen as core skills of early literacy. As such, pupils should be taught:
how to listen carefully; to speak from the basic level of sound, word, phrase and structural sentences in various situational contexts; the stress, rhythm and intonation patterns and how to use them correctly;
to recognise, understand and use not only verbal but also nonverbal communication; and
oral communication practice by means of repeating, responding, understanding and applying structures of language in order to prepare them for communication.
