Abstract

In this article, we explore the relationship between oral language and the development of reading comprehension, aiming to demonstrate the connection between oral language and key elements of literacy: decoding, vocabulary, and writing. Based on a literature review, we discuss strategies that promote the enhancement of students' oral language skills and, consequently, their oral and written comprehension and production. We also emphasize the importance of oral language in helping students organize their thoughts, select appropriate words, and form coherent sentences, crucial skills also for writing. Furthermore, we argue that instruction focused on oral language is essential for students' success in reading, as prioritizing instructional strategies that stimulate oral language helps students express their ideas, expand their vocabulary, and develop their phonological awareness and fluency.
