TTS Language For Living Box 1 - ages 5 to 7 years

• A structured programme for teaching vocabulary and supporting oral language development. • Children will broaden their vocabulary whilst being supported to apply newly acquired language to reading and writing activities. • 'Spoken language underpins the development of reading and writing,' states the 2013 National Curriculum. Language for Living addresses the increasing understanding of the role vocabulary and oral language development have in children's success within school and later life. • The programme provides hundreds of theme-based words-of-the-day, followed by activities for intentional vocabulary teaching with tips, games, and writing opportunities. This enables pupils to practice new words and carry them into reading and writing. By progressing through the three Language for Living boxes, they will build a bank of vocabulary from their early years at school. Using the other elements of oral language that Language for Living: Tip of the Tongue provides, this new vocabulary is reinforced and revised so pupils retain it. • A progressive, considered method to narrow the word gap • Includes subject knowledge support for teachers • Clearly planned activities making it quick and easy to get started with • Quick and easy to get started with when planning time is limited
