Talkboost Key Stage 2 Training for Teachers

Talkboost Key Stage 2 Training for Teachers

·        Talk Boost KS2 is a targeted programme aimed at children 7-10 year old children who need help with talking and understanding words, aiming to boost their language skills helping them to catch up with their peers. The programme aims to accelerate children’s progress in language and communication after 8 weeks.

·        Children who are selected to take part in the programme will attend three sessions per week in small groups, each lasting 30-40 minutes delivered by the teaching assistant. The sessions include activities that follow the areas of language and communication: listen carefully, learning new words, telling stories, working with others and making friends and having conversations. In addition, the teacher will run a weekly whole-class activity and there are activities that can be practiced at home.

·        This training is for schools who have the Talkboost Key Stage 2 intervention kit or those who plan to buy the kit.  

·        It is preferable to have the kit for the training, to maximise the benefit of the workshop but you may attend the workshop without the kit.
