Yet, oral reading is becoming a "school skill".

Hi,
  Just have to say that I've never thought of oral reading as a "school skill". 
 how about the report that you're asked to read at a board meeting--of any 
company?  how do you ever understand a piece of poetry if you aren't reading it 
orally?  and some of my best experiences as a literate person come from reading 
aloud and sharing books and poems with my mother and later with my children.  
that's in addition to all the casual times mentioned earlier when you read an 
excerpt from the newspaper or some book aloud because it strikes you and you 
want to share it.
