strategies they found most helpful in oral communication situations.
1. Listening to Understand
1e4
Purpose
1.1 identify purposes for listening in a few different situations, formal and informal (e.g., to hear the
sounds of language in songs, chants, and poems; to interact socially with classmates; to enjoy
and understand a story read aloud by the teacher; to follow simple directions in large- and
small-group settings; to exchange ideas with a peer in a paired sharing or small group)
1e5
Active Listening Strategies
1.2 demonstrate an understanding of appropriate listening behaviour by using active listening
strategies in a few different situations (e.g., listen without interrupting and wait their turn to
speak; show that they are paying attention and are interested by looking at the speaker,
nodding, or asking relevant questions)
1e6
Comprehension Strategies
1.3 identify a few listening comprehension strategies and use them before, during, and after listening in
order to understand and clarify the meaning of oral texts, initially with support and direction (e.g.,
use background knowledge, familiar word order, and context to make predictions about content
or vocabulary before listening to an oral text; think about what known words might be related
to the topic; ask questions to check understanding during and after listening; create mental
pictures while listening to a readaloud and draw or talk about what they visualized; retell the
important information presented in a class discussion or a think-pair-share activity)
1e7
Demonstrating Understanding
1.4 demonstrate an understanding of the information and ideas in oral texts by retelling the story or
restating the information, including the main idea (e.g., use time-order words, such as first, then,
next, finally, to retell a story they have heard; restate information from a movie about
community workers, including a topic statement and several supporting details)
1e8
Making Inferences/Interpreting Texts
1.5 use stated and implied information and ideas in oral texts, initially with support and direction, to
make simple inferences and reasonable predictions (e.g., attend to the words being spoken and
also use personal experience and the speaker’s intonation and facial expression to understand
what is being said)
Teacher prompt: “The boy said, ’You broke my airplane!’ What helps you understand how he might
be feeling? What do you think he might do next?”
1e9
Extending Understanding
1.6 extend understanding of oral texts by connecting the ideas in them to their own knowledge and
experience; to other familiar texts, including print and visual texts; and to the world around them
(e.g., make personal connections between their own ideas about a topic and the ideas in an oral
text; identify other texts that have similar elements or content)

Point of View
1.8 begin to identify, with support and direction, who is speaking in an oral text and the point of view
expressed by the speaker (e.g., the narrator may be a character in a story or an expert on the
topic of an informational talk; the speaker may be recounting a personal anecdote or sharing a
personal opinion)
Teacher prompts: “Who is telling this story/presenting this information? What words/clues helped you
figure that out?” “What do we know about the speaker?” “How might the story be different if
another character were telling it?”
1e12

sounds in words; visual features of words such as shape and orientation; sound-letter
relationships for initial, final, and medial sounds; onset and rime; common spelling patterns;
words within words)
