Children seem to be starting school with decreasing levels of oracy; and our focus on the written form for evidence can sometimes divert our attention from speaking and listening.

This course shares several of our favourite approaches for oracy development in the Early Years, but the strategies need little adaptation to apply in the key stages too.

• elaborative dialogue, tentative talk, sustained shared thinking and other forms of communication
• active listening to encourage children to talk
• planning your talk to match the learning objective
• evidencing through talk, not just through writing.

Audience:
This course is appropriate for primary and special schools.

• Headteachers, senior leaders, subject & middle leaders, class teachers, TAs
• EYFS, KS1
