How to improve verbal skills in EYFS The impact of developing confidence around talk is enormous, writes Julian Grenier - so how can we help our youngest learners in this vital area?

Improving verbal skills in EYFS: "We need to prioritise shared reading with children, especially with those whose language skills are weaker, & also make time for conversation & discussion about new words throughout the day." @juliangrenier.bsky.social in TES: www.tes.com/magazine/tea...

It was very powerful to hear children who feel unable to come to school say at the end of the session that they are excited to come to school.

โ€˜Ladybirdโ€™

perfectly captured by a Nursery child.

Could I beat this?

Its beauty?

Its freshness?

Its directness of expression?

I donโ€™t think so!

In which case I need think carefully about my teaching.

Thereโ€™s no script for thisโ€ฆ unless someone knows better!?

New research from Frontier Economics finds that Government plans to create 100,000 new childcare places in primary schools is 'unlikely to work', citing a mismatch between demand & available space along with concerns about the suitability of buildings.
