ORAL LANGUAGE WORKSHOPS

Oral Language is a critical foundation of early literacy and an essential precursor for reading and writing skills. Yet such little time is given for developing our students’ oral language skills.

We are running a workshop to introduce teaching staff to strategies to support oral language development, including descriptive commenting, pre-academic coaching, the One Hand Approach, and Hei Awhiawhi Tamariki ki te Panui Pukapuka (HPP).

Join us for a hands-on workshop in the RTLB Meeting Room, Royal Oak Primary School on one of these dates:

Thursday 24th July, 3.30pm-5.00pm

RSVP to Sarah Pearse at sarahp@rtlbcluster8.ac.nz
