Neuman, Copple & Bredekamp (2000) indicate that beginning in infancy and continuing throughout childhood, children may learn from those around them that in language and literacy there is much value, enjoyment, and sheer power. If they do not develop such an interest in reading and writing an eager desire for initiation into print's mysteries and skills children's progress toward literacy is uncertain. When the going gets tough, they may drop out of the game.
The path to literacy begins with very simple adult behaviors that infants and toddlers find interesting or pleasing. Caregivers may respond to babie's cooing, babbling, and other vocalizations; speak in warm, expressive voices in attending to children's needs and playing with them; and recite nursery rhymes and other chants or verses with appealing rhythms and sound patterns.

You are right with simproving reading and oral skill through songs, games, chants among others. Children will learn how to read orally using the tools mention above. The classroom should be fun and meaningful for them to be motivated.
