Time to talk: implementing outstanding practice in speech, language and communication (Second edition.)

This title provides a powerful and accessible resource for practitioners to help develop their own skills, as well as supporting a whole-school or setting approach to speaking and listening.

Written by the government's former Communication Champion for children, it showcases and celebrates effective approaches in schools and settings across the country.

Jean Gross helpfully summarises research on what helps children and young people develop good language and communication skills, and highlights the importance of key factors: a place to talk, a reason to talk and support for talk.
