Great to join #WEdFEvents this morning to hear from @EducEndowFoundn and others about the importance of #SpokenLanguage in classrooms

[Speech and Language UK @SpeechAndLangUK]

Children who struggle to talk and understand words are six times more likely to be behind in English. We believe tools and training for nurseries and schools are key to identifying and supporting these children early #EarlyWordsMatter

It's 2024! We are so excited about the work of the amazing #preschool & #primaryschool settings taking part in the #SSLiC programme to improve #teachers' skills for supporting #OralLanguage development 🤩

We commend that @bphillipsonMP @LabourParty acknowledged the link between children struggling with talking and understanding words and persistent absence. However, any future government must do more to support these children.

[Bridget Phillipson @bphillipsonMP]

For fourteen years, the Conservatives have failed a generation.

That can, must, and will change.

Labour believes in excellence for everyone.

For all our children in all our schools.

That’s our dream, and that’s our plan.

We couldn't agree more!

[Speech and Language UK @SpeechAndLangUK]

1.9m children struggle with talking and understanding words.

We believe more #Teachers and #EarlyYears staff need to be trained and encouraged to use positive daily speech and language practices.

@JulieMorganLAB highlights the need for a proactive approach to supporting #children's #language and #SLCN in the latest issue of the @RCSLT #Bulletin magazine.
We would love to introduce the #SSLiC programme to Wales to compliment the #TalkWithMe programme @UKGovWales💡

@SpeechAndLangUK @RCSLT @WGHealthandCare
So true! Spoken language-the understanding and use of it-is fundamental to everything we do- in learning, in socialising and in work. We need to get this foundational skill sorted if we want strong literacy and numeracy skills in children

[Supporting Spoken Language in the Classroom SSLiC @SSLiC_Prog]

Great to see how the @SSLiC_study aligns with Aim 1 of this important new strategy to “make speech and language central to more schools’ and nurseries’ everyday practice across the UK” @SpeechAndLangUK @SOEBristol @IOE_London

[Speech and Language UK @SpeechAndLangUK]

We want every child with speech and language challenges to have the skills they need to face the future with confidence. That's why today we are launching our ambitious new five-year strategy - ‘Confident young futures' -https://t.co/TmutwoTBCS
