Do observations of the child and that will feed your knowledge by doing this you will know how and when the child needs support.


Hope this helps

in my setting once a week we do communiction books, this is where they draw a picture what they did during the weekend and then tell us what they have drwn a picture of and we write it down for them...i work with 2-4yrs............or set home corner so children can talk to peers..i hope this helps

everything you do should support this area of development! the activities you plan the resources you select the thing THEY select. constant open questions, talk activities, ict, circle time chat.... what do you do that doesnt???

That is spot on, playing alongside & asking questions can help the practioner see where the Child/Children are in their communication skills and understanding of language and literacy.

As you say, asking questions - but what other places are there in your room for chances to talk whilst at play - between adults and other children, see and view text - books, displays, on toys and their packaging. How is the room laid out so that the children can play freely and still have access to ways of communication. What games do you play and how can everyone mark make through all six areas of learning.

How does your group communicate with parents & carers to support them and the Children in this area - newsletters, activity information, what you're doing notes, open days, stay and play, training ? By supporting Parents and Carers you have the opportunity to help support the Children.

Would making up a basic room plan of the places you think communication and language can happen help ?
