Good oracy isn’t just about speaking.
It’s about listening well too. 👂
Today’s Think Thursday Spark:
Can you be a good listener even when you disagree? Why?
A great prompt for respectful disagreement and active listening.
#Oracy#InternationalDayOfListening
A simple oracy tip for tomorrow:
If pupils know how to start, they’re much more likely to contribute.
Try:
“I think this because…”
“I agree because…”
“Another example could be…”
Simple sentence stems can lead to much richer talk.
#Oracy#KS2#TeachingTips
Oracy doesn’t need to start with a huge whole-school overhaul.
A good question.
A sentence starter.
A few minutes of purposeful talk.
Repeated consistently, those small moments can make a real difference.
That’s the thinking behind Oracy Spark. 💬
#Oracy#KS2#PrimaryTeaching
After 15 years in primary education, I created Oracy Spark to make classroom talk easier to use consistently.
One worthwhile question each day.
Structured sentence starters.
We’re just getting started—please follow and share with a primary teacher.

A classroom conversation:
💬 Is it more important to be honest or kind?
Follow it with:
• Can honesty sometimes be unkind?
• What if you cannot be both?
A simple question with plenty to explore. #Oracy#KS2
Sentence starters don’t give children the answer. They give children a way into the conversation.
“I agree with ___ because…”
“I understand your point, but…”
“Another way of looking at it is…”
Small scaffolds can help more pupils find their voice. #Oracy

Why does daily classroom talk matter? 💬
Regular opportunities to talk help children build confidence, explain their thinking and listen to others.
Oracy Spark makes it easy—one ready-to-use prompt at a time.
