@SLT_Francesca There maybe a Specialist team at the Evelina or Guys you could speak to? https://t.co/ufMvd5wCCt

@DanWuori Yes! Phonological awareness is key to speech, language and literacy!

The doors on the bus go open and shut… 🚌 🎶

For toddlers, music and movement are more than just entertainment.

Beat, rhythm, and tempo all stimulate children’s developing brains - helping body and mind to work together in coordination.

Repetitive songs like “The Wheels on the Bus” also help children with important pre-reading skills like pattern recognition and auditory discrimination (the ability to distinguish between separate sounds).

There’s little question that the song is engaging this little one’s brain (while also boosting his mood).

Watch as he anticipates and carefully times his “open and shut” movements.

There’s a lot of brain power on display in this joyful video, posted to IG by jackielegss.

#DLDday is this week!
Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) is so common that all SaLT need to know how to diagnose it. We have helpful FREE modules on our website. Bookmark for later! #DevLangDis https://t.co/BOs3YWzoUU

Phonological awareness impacts on speech, vocabulary and literacy. Teachers can start with phonological awareness for children with speech sound disorder. No need to wait!

[NAPLIC @NAPLIC]

Phonological awareness is so important for literacy it should be monitored closely. Starting at school entry for all, but at latter points for those experiencing difficulties with literacy, language, learning and behaviour. @DrHelenSLT

It is so important that we as adults, teachers and activity providers make our classes inclusive for all children.

That means at the very least using visuals (objects, pictures, signing) movement and checking the amount of language we are using to young children in our classes.

Do you help teach young children new words?

Phonological awareness skills are crucial for literacy, but are also an area that many children, including those with #DevLangDis struggle with. The wonderful people at @SLSncl have produced FREE assessment and intervention resources. https://t.co/JLTa3Fsgw3

Early years is about more than just childcare – it’s about giving every child the best start in life. It sits right at the centre of my vision for education.

We'll deliver a sea change in our early years system, and that work begins now.

🕒 Wait time 🕒 between asking a question and calling on someone for an answer — as well as waiting to respond to an answer — is an important strategy to include for all learners.

Dr. Patricia McCabe - top notch summary of CAS diagnosis and intervention alignment! MUST READ (Its FREE OPEN ACCESS) so thankful for making this available to everyone! https://t.co/T7LgBZ87dr @speechwoman @tricmc @SharynneMcLeod @Apraxia_KIDS

[Susan @SusanEbbels]

The DLD diagnostics toolbox by @larchiba6 is such a fantastic resource. If you assess children's language, you should read it.

It's so practical, recognises the nuances & complexities & discusses wording you can out in reports that recognises that.

What do people say about The Talk & Move Programme?

Always great to get positive feedback from parents and educators using the programme with their children.

A study recently concluded babies first learn language via rhythm and tone instead of phonetic information. Professor Usha Goswami shares more about the BabyRhythm project. https://t.co/aXhEueWM8T

@k_v_roberts @SwailesRuth @GranCB We combine whole body movement with phonological awareness! With each move we clap the syllables, make the sounds and think of words that rhyme.
