Developing Language and Communication Skills through Effective Small Group Work

Developing Language and Communication Skills through Effective Small Group Work by Marion Nash

Poor literacy skills have been shown to have profound effect on the life chances of children and young people. Now in its third edition, Developing Language and Communication Skills through Small Group Work provides essential information for practitioners working with linguistically struggling children. Using the Spirals language development technique predicated by psychological principles, this book contains a wealth of effective ideas to support children’s language and communication. The book includes concise explanations of the terms and concepts involved, clear guidelines for setting up and running small group sessions, structured lesson plans and photocopiable resources.

Praise for previous edition:

'Teaching staff, assistants in schools and nurseries are finding this book invaluableIt is a good idea which is fully resourced, simply produced, gives a terms worth of language work for the most needy pupils and above all is fun for both adults and children. How can it be so much fun and so effective at the same time? I'm just glad that it is! Well worth buying and putting into practice with small groups of 6 to 8 linguistically vulnerable children. The positive effects spread into the classroom.' - Customer Review, Amazon
