GL Assessment have created a series of videos to support using the Wellcomm Toolkit. Very useful for the schools who are new to the scheme.

Use a book like 'Where's Spot?' by Eric Hill to help learn prepositions like behind, in/inside and under.
Checkout our website Section 5 Activity 5 https://t.co/fczRrW6xkl for more books to help your child understand prepositions.

Calendars are really useful for Speech & Language activities. Say days of the week and months of the year, discuss the seasons. Write in birthdays and holidays, before asking questions like, 'When is your birthday?' 'When is half term?' #eyfs #wellcomm #section8 #section9

“The biggest reward is when a child lights up because they feel confident enough to speak. That’s when you know it’s working, and that’s why we do this.” Eastwards Consortium’s case study about their @DlpProject and #WellComm is inspiring! #SLCN

One idea is use puppets (make your own with an odd sock!) or toys as characters. Give them a silly voice as they act out a made up story.

Research at University of Canterbury, New Zealand, found children aged 2-4 who watched 90 mins+ of “daily screen time” were, by 4.5 years, below average for vocabulary, communication, numeracy, and letter fluency. 1/2

Question words like 'what, where, why, when, who' are essential to find things out and encourage reflection and thinking skills. Listening to these stories are a good starting point to use these words...

Maya went from bright and friendly, to withdrawn and argumentative. What was going on? One of her teaching assistants screened her with WellComm Digital, and the mystery was solved. Find out why so many schools choose #WellComm to address #SLCN. https://t.co/jxwjXwX6iO

[GL Assessment @GL_Assessment]

Eastwards Consortium was determined to tackle high levels of #SLCN with their @DlpProject. This new case study by Hanif Ur-Rehman and Susanne Humpage covers #WellComm, training, parental workshops, sample reports, personal tips, and some fabulous outcomes. https://t.co/pz1Q1WwExj
