Achieving Excellence in Vocabulary Acquisition

Have you heard of the 'Word Gap' - the large disparity in how many words children hear at home before they reach school age? Vocabulary is certainly a focus of the 2014 National Curriculum, and it's of particular concern to Ofsted too. This engaging course outlines five powerful approaches to help your children acquire vocabulary, and use it in more sophisticated ways.

  • Rooted in research
  • Appropriate for all year groups
  • Practical ideas that work in the classroom
