GRADE 1 | ORAL COMMUNICATION
OVERALL EXPECTATIONS
By the end of Grade 1, students will:
1. listen in order to understand and respond appropriately in a variety of situations for a variety of purposes;
2. use speaking skills and strategies appropriately to communicate with different audiences for a variety of purposes;
3. reflect on and identify their strengths as listeners and speakers, areas for improvement, and the strategies they found most helpful in oral
communication situations.
SPECIFIC EXPECTATIONS
1. Listening to Understand
By the end of Grade 1, students will:
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)
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)
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 read-aloud and draw or talk about what they visualized;
retell the important information presented in a class discussion or a think-pair-share activity)
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)
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)
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)
Analysing Texts
1.7 identify words or phrases that indicate whether an oral text is fact or fiction, initially with support and direction (e.g., a personal recount
might start "Last year in the summer holidays..." while a fictional story might start "Once upon a time...")
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)
Presentation Strategies
1.9 begin to identify some of the presentation strategies used in oral texts and explain how they influence the audience (e.g., the use of
differences in tone and pitch for different characters in a story; the use of props to engage the audience)
2. Speaking to Communicate
