Oracy means speaking and listening well.
It helps children share ideas, understand others and feel confident.

How to support oracy at home

• Talk every day: Ask open questions like “What made you feel happy today?”

• Listen carefully: Give your child time to speak and show you’re listening.

• Build vocabulary: Explain new words as they come up.

• Read together: Talk about stories and ask questions.

Encourage confidence: Praise effort and let children speak without constant correction.

Remember that everyday conversations make the biggest difference.
