Supporting Vocabulary Development in the Classroom

This course develops the practitioner’s understanding of how to support children’s vocabulary development in the classroom, across all lessons and learning.

Vocabulary development is a key across all lessons, routines, interactions and conversations to support success as they grow.

Many children require vocabulary to be focused on specifically, explored in different contexts, modelled often and pre taught.

The course aims to cover and explore how to support children’s vocabulary development in the classroom and day to day.

Aims:

· To understand the importance of vocabulary development in the classroom

· To identify children who struggle with learning new and specific vocabulary

Ideal for:

Any practitioners working with children who struggle with English, topic work, maths vocabulary, understanding language and using language.

This course is particularly helpful for staff who are developing their skills in supporting children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).
