A Reading-for-Pleasure Project for HEP Primary Schools

These workshops are for teachers who have already registered for the full project.

In this session, Nursery/Early Years Leaders will plan for the training sessions.

What is it?

• 10 minutes – once a week ‘Contingent talk with a book’ sessions with a trained adult.
• A simple child- centred approach to language learning through talk contingent on the child’s interest based around a book chosen by the child.
• At least a term’s commitment to providing ‘Contingent talk with a book’ to each child chosen for the programme.
• It will also be an opportunity to identify colleagues who will be involved in the training sessions.

Impact:

• Shared reading has a positive impact in children’s language development.
• Dialogic reading styles are more effective at boosting children’s language development than a simple, storytelling narrative style.
• Interventions based on dialogic reading styles have a positive impact on children’s expressive vocabulary.
