This year we have expanded the Oracy Triangle to highlight the 9 building blocks of great oracy practice.
This is supporting clarity, quality, training and feedback across the school and improving outcomes for our children. 🗣❤️🖐
Quick talk tasks trialled in some year 7-11 classes today to boost speaking & listening opportunities: Random Count to 20, Odds and Evens, Think Pair Share and Talking Points. Some great oracy practice happening! @COLA_Highgate@talkingWhitSLTs

Inspiring closing quote at a lightning talk with @KHopkins_SLT at @COLA_Highgate just now: "In a world where silent classrooms are often associated with great learning/behaviour, it's easy to forget that it's good to talk." @talkingWhitSLTs

Here’s a fantastic idea from one of the paed SLT teams in Islington - recycle your empty coffee tins & make them into word pots. Get ready for a Vocab Hit in September! @ListenEAR2
We are honoured to welcome 3 visitors from Tennessee, USA this week. 2 SLTs and one SEN teacher seeing how Listen-EAR works in our schools, and how they can support SLCN in the classrooms more. Keeley and Sarah met Ryan & Cheryl to show off Listen-EAR @holytrinitynw3
