At Moortown Primary, we really value the importance of speaking and listening:
- the more a child listens well to lots of speaking, the more (s)he will be able to understand and use and write
- the better a child speaks, with interesting words and structures, the better (s)he will write, with interesting words and sentences
Thanks to the parent (Reception, Year 4) who recently mentioned a great resource. I’ve shared it with teachers, but why let them have all the good ideas?! Use the ideas in The Key Jar to open up some thought-provoking discussion at home or on a journey.
