This is a workshop for any staff working with early years and KS1 children who have difficulties understanding questions and instructions.
By attending this workshop, you will:
- Understand the Language of Learning model (Blank's theory)
- Be able to identify the level of language a child can understand and be able to set appropriate targets where you have concerns
- Be able to adapt your language levels so that children understand what they are being asked
- Implement strategies to support language skills at a universal and targeted level in your school/setting
Reasons to attend:
- You would like to learn more about the Blank language model.
- You have concerns about a child’s understanding of spoken language, e.g., following directions or answering questions. The child may have additional difficulties in expressing themselves.
This workshop will be delivered online via Microsoft Teams. When you book, you will receive a confirmation email, and closer to the workshop date, you will receive information about how to access the workshop and the materials you will require for the workshop.
