”Thank you for your training, it really got us all thinking and talking about children’s language and the impact it’s having on their learning. We can see how these interventions are really going to impact on our children. The support with interpreting the assessment data has been brilliant.”
Special Educational Needs Co-ordinatorIn 2016 only 12% of pupils with Speech, Language and Communication Needs achieved expected standards in Reading, Writing and Maths at the end of primary school, compared to 53% of all pupils.
Often, the focus in school is on reading and writing, but without strong spoken language, children will struggle to do well.
Statistic “SLCN impacts on attainment”“I spoke to [child’s name] yesterday and she is so much clearer than before. I can understand what she is saying now. She still has a long way to go, but you can see the progress and it’s even impacting on her phonics – she’s moved up to a higher group.”
Kate Hunter, Key Stage 1 Lead TeacherThe materials are fantastic and often very amusing, which helps to engage the disaffected learners.
Lyndsey Hazelwood, Specialist Teacher“Children who enter school with good language skills have better chances in school, better chances of entering higher education and better economic success in adulthood.”
