Entry 3: Relationship between oral language and the reading process

The relationship between oral language and the reading process I believe goes hand in hand. To an extent, you cant have one if you don't have the other. There are always the cases where someone can learn to read but not to speak orally or visa versa. But I feel the oral language guides someone in the reading process. People learn how to speak first, before they start writing, which means that oral language is the "key" to learning to read.

I took a spin an looked at what I talked about previously and thought in the eyes of an ELL student. In the case of an ELL student, the reading process is key to the oral language part. The students learn to read the English language first before they can actually speak it.
