Time For Talk
Fri, Mar 26th 2004
Teachers are presented with a growing number of children with under-developed language skills, and, with Speaking and Listening skills being part of the taught curriculum, there is an increasing emphasis placed on developing these skills. The educational psychologist works alongside a speech and language therapist and class teacher to design Circle Time programmes that allow children to develop and contribute according to their preferred way of doing this. Children are encouraged to feel safe and relaxed, and sessions are highly motivating, being good fun and promoting good concentration. The results so far have looked promising, with children becoming more effective thinkers and communicators and with the project going from strength to strength.
