Talk for reading focuses on the way that children’s talk underpins the development of their reading (and writing).
We will look at:
The development of talk; the crucial role of serve and return conversations; building firm foundations in communication and language to support reading.
Research findings related to language and early reading – what are the implications for learning and teaching, looking at the proposed revisions to the EYFS?

We are inviting schools to ‘opt-in’ to a visit by contacting early years enquiries. Once the school is allocated an early years adviser that adviser will contact the school to arrange a suitable date and agenda.
The visit will encompass all of the EYFS provision under the school’s Ofsted registration and may include a discussion with the EYFS lead and the extended services leads.
