It empowers children to communicate effectively for various purposes and to reflect on their own and others’ experiences, feelings, and ideas, giving them order and meaning. Oracy the ability to express oneself fluently and effectively in spoken language is equally important, as it enhances children’s confidence and social skills, enabling them to engage in meaningful discussions. Because literacy and oracy are central to children’s intellectual, emotional, and social development, they play vital roles across the curriculum, ensuring that learning is coherent and progressive.
