Literacy and Oracy

Because it's so much more than grammar, spelling and knowing what to do with a fronted adverbial.

We are delighted as the next person to see that oracy is finally taking its place back among the key skills all children should be picking up.

Writing well and speaking well are skills that will set any young person up for life.

The thing is, good teachers have been practising oracy for years.

And not just in the English classroom.

Below are some of our Associates who have a great track record for bringing the best out the mouths of all their children and young people.

Whether it's Crista Hazell in her MFL classrooms, Mark Creasy, Ian Timbrell and Will Ryan in their primary classrooms, Lisa Jane Ashes in her English and also cross-curricular work or even Mikey Markham with his performance poetry, we've been doing the business when it comes to oracy and literacy for many years.

And that includes in EYFS too through the work of Dr Sarah Moseley and Ruth Swailes.

Not to mention Nina Jackson and her work on literacy and oracy with a SEND perspective.

And there's a new INSET event which brings together storyteller extraordinaire Hywel Roberts with English expert Martin Illingworth.

Watch this space for more on that, coming soon.

Whether you are looking for a full or half day with the whole school, a twilight or even for us to come and work with your children and students alongside your teachers, simply get in touch on 01267 211432 or drop us an email and we'll put together the perfect package for you.

We can share practical and proven classroom strategies and approaches that will help all young people find their voice.

We look forward to hearing from you.
