Let’s Talk! Using LAS Links Data to Cultivate Oracy

Michelle Ruszkowski, Michelle Piskol Administration

Reading requires strong oral language skills, and LAS Links provides important data on how a student’s oracy is developing in English and/or Spanish.

From fostering vocabulary acquisition to improving comprehension skills, we will explore strategies that integrate oracy development into literacy instruction effectively, equipping students with the skills needed to excel in spoken and written communication.
