Eymp5 4.2

[gracygrey]

Hi,

I have found a couple of posts on this but I just can't start getting words onto paper.
What ican paper did people use as reference? What parts of the literacy trust report?
I was going to include findings from John Bercow - is that right?

Sorry for seeming so dim, I am so dog tired that words are just swimming in my head

Tempted to just leave it for tonight and switch off from CYPW and switch on bbc and reach for the vino

Please can someone help with this? I don't like moving onto another unit unless I have completely finished the last one

you will have to find your own references as they underpin what you are saying and everyone writes differently.

Hi, evidence can come from within your own setting.

Page 35 of talkingpoints learner materials will help examine what your setting provides.

Communication friendly spaces & enabling environments show how areas can be set up to actively support children's communication.

Factors from the EYMP 5 unit

4.2 Key Factors may include:
o the physical environment: how is yours set up, where can children meet & greet, play alongside each other or as a group. Where does the light come from - windows, doors, how noisy is it, can children roam freely inside and out.
o staff roles and responsibilities: planning from children's interests, focussing on commincation, raising communication issues through meetings and looking at how best to support it. Learning words from children's first language, Makaton, or rhyme in other languages.
o training needs and opportunities: what is available locally and further afield, SLT workshops, short courses, new resource ideas that aim to assist children's communication.
o views of the child: getting to know individual children's interests & ideas and empowering them to take the lead with how they communicate through play, with peers and adults.
o appropriate involvement of carers: building on the connection between setting and home to support children's communication. How parents let you know about the speech, language, communication development of their child and how you share the same information -- diary books, providing rhymes & lyrics used in the setting.

You can call on your policies, procedures, operational plan, ofsted report, sef, training diary, resource purchasing, welcome pack publications to help source evidence.

I hope this helps a little xx
