-Communication strategies you can use when supporting children either 1:1 or in a small group.
-How to support children’s sentence construction through modelling.
-Learn strategies to promote children’s thinking using open questioning
-How to support students during collaborative learning activities
-Using vocabulary teaching strategies to support children’s vocabulary acquisition.
-Games/activities that promote active listening/talking for Reception, Key Stage One and Two.
This workshop is suitable for all support staff working with children wither 1:1, in small groups or in a whole class setting.
