But to achieve this, we have to get in early and make sure that all young children get a good grounding in literacy."

The quality of input that children receive is likely to be more important than the quantity ]]> 2023-01-31 15:56:21 UTC https://padlet.com/callen290/gy11458wb0ighjw2/wish/2463237865 https://padlet.com/callen290/gy11458wb0ighjw2/wish/2463258897 We need to ensure that we prioritise high quality interactions with children to enable the development of Communication and Language. We need to understand what high quality interactions are and then ensure that there is careful planning of activities to allow them to take place. ]]> 2023-01-31 16:08:38 UTC https://padlet.com/callen290/gy11458wb0ighjw2/wish/2463258897 callen290 https://padlet.com/callen290/gy11458wb0ighjw2/wish/2463265291 _{At 3-5yrs warning signs that children's oral language development is not typical:}

It has +4 months! Something that we always need to consider, planning workshops, engaging with Tapestry etc.

• their questions can focus specifically on stimulating children’s thinking (see Table 1) • they can create timetabled opportunities for ‘thinking times’, which signal to the children that a non-ordinary (and possibly counterfactual) kind of thinking is being encouraged 
• more opportunities can be created in the classroom for structured dialogue • children can be invited to construct written opinions and arguments 
• ‘story-time’ can become an opportunity to develop children’s thinking 
• traditional sorting and sequencing tasks can be an opportunity to verbalise thinking • play equipment can present children with possibilities for developing their imagination 
• children can be given opportunities for solitary as well as social play 
• children can be asked to evaluate their work critically 
• additional adults in the classroom can be used to develop children’s thinking 
• creative activities can encourage creative ‘possibility thinking’ as well as creative skills ]]> 2023-01-31 16:30:34 UTC https://padlet.com/callen290/gy11458wb0ighjw2/wish/2463295820 callen290 https://padlet.com/callen290/gy11458wb0ighjw2/wish/2463338101 2023-01-31 16:54:15 UTC https://padlet.com/callen290/gy11458wb0ighjw2/wish/2463338101 eyates18 https://padlet.com/callen290/gy11458wb0ighjw2/wish/2463588616 Something that is often taken for granted but so worthwhile, this document mentions it several times as being such an important way of extending children's vocabulary and supporting them with their spoken language ]]> 2023-01-31 19:34:05 UTC https://padlet.com/callen290/gy11458wb0ighjw2/wish/2463588616 https://padlet.com/callen290/gy11458wb0ighjw2/wish/2463706556 High quality interactions. This is so important for us to look at and make sure we doing this the best we can. Sometimes this can be hard in our busy environments but really tuning in and spending quality time engaging with children to extend their thinking and promote language is so important.]]> 2023-01-31 21:23:58 UTC https://padlet.com/callen290/gy11458wb0ighjw2/wish/2463706556 jnicholson99 https://padlet.com/callen290/gy11458wb0ighjw2/wish/2463717141 I think the figure on page 10 is interesting. When we discuss new language or words with children and display them or talk about them we need ensure they are working towards having good word recognition and good comprehension. 

From the science lead meeting I attended yesterday and previous assignments I have completed regarding cognitive overload etc we might need to look at how many words we want to introduce to children over a certain timeframe and also ensuring we recap over them regularly to ensure better understanding of the new language. I know this is going off the research we are currently looking at but something to be mindful of. I have lots of information regarding cognitive load if anyone is interested in me digging that out!]]> 2023-01-31 21:37:24 UTC https://padlet.com/callen290/gy11458wb0ighjw2/wish/2463717141 jnicholson99 https://padlet.com/callen290/gy11458wb0ighjw2/wish/2463729619 I think it is important to consider if parents understand how to support their child at home. Some of the shared reading tips may seem obvious to us but unless you have completed training in this then it may not come as easily. 
I especially think linking reading to the real world is particularly interesting and something we may not always delve into enough. However when you think about how this would aid understanding it is very important.]]> 2023-01-31 21:54:09 UTC https://padlet.com/callen290/gy11458wb0ighjw2/wish/2463729619 jnicholson99 https://padlet.com/callen290/gy11458wb0ighjw2/wish/2463736933 Important to make time to get together as colleagues to discuss interventions so that these children can continued to be supported throughout their time in provision too. I know we aim to tailor provision but if we are aware of anything they are still finding more difficult during their intervention sessions then connections can be made between interventions and everyday activities so they are being continually supported.]]> 2023-01-31 22:03:36 UTC https://padlet.com/callen290/gy11458wb0ighjw2/wish/2463736933 sjames153 https://padlet.com/callen290/gy11458wb0ighjw2/wish/2469051247 As a general point, I think it’s interesting to note the document refers to ‘the range’ of opportunities available for children. This includes the planning of multiple ways the child can access learning, depending on interests, learning styles, preferred activity etc., giving opportunity to all. For example language is modelled, introduced, repeated in all areas of the classroom. ]]> 2023-02-05 16:43:48 UTC https://padlet.com/callen290/gy11458wb0ighjw2/wish/2469051247 sjames153 https://padlet.com/callen290/gy11458wb0ighjw2/wish/2469052048 Really interesting to see how a ‘plan-do-review’ approach feeds into development of self-regulation.]]> 2023-02-05 16:45:10 UTC https://padlet.com/callen290/gy11458wb0ighjw2/wish/2469052048 callen290 https://padlet.com/callen290/gy11458wb0ighjw2/wish/2600378280 2023-05-22 17:15:47 UTC https://padlet.com/callen290/gy11458wb0ighjw2/wish/2600378280
