Massonnié, Jessica; Llaurado, Anna; Sumner, Emma; Dockrell, Julie E. – Oxford Review of Education, 2022
There has been a resurgence in concern about the levels of pupils' oral language skills at school entry. To support and develop these skills effectively an understanding of the key components of oral language is required. We examined the oral language skills of monolingual children in Reception (M[subscript Age] = 57.9 months; n = 126) and Year 1…
