"The more as a district we have delved in to looking at oral language and the language component of literacy, we realized how much we were missing. It's really important that districts, especially with younger learners, start looking at oral language immediately. There are so many early gaps you can close that will support students continuing through their education.”

1 in 4 students in the United States have a voice, speech, or language disorder. With early intervention, children with language delays can go on to be competent and confident readers, speakers, and learners.
