Spoken language
At Charlotte Infant and Nursery School we recognise that good spoken language skills are vital and we take every opportunity to develop good speech and language skills throughout school to enable our children to be confident, creative and successful communicators.
Various interventions are run to support children who need extra help to develop good spoken language including ECAT, NELI and Speech Link.
We have one specialist sppech and language teaching assistant who coordinated the delivefry of programmes set by Speech and language therapists.These individualised programs of support for children who experience Speech and Language difficulties are delivered by experienced Teaching assistants.
Teachers have received Word Aware training to better enable staff to develop children’s vocabulary and expressive language. We place a strong emphasis on broadening the children’s vocabulary.
