Speaking & Listening for All

This text aims to help raise literacy standards, using the philosophy that language is the foundation of all learning.

The practical advice and information will help teachers to: address language difficulties in the classroom context; plan an integrated language policy; develop speaking and listening for all children to support the National Literacy Strategy and the National Numeracy Strategy; promote a team approach towards language development; assess children's language skills effectively; and use language to support cross-curricular learning.
