Languges, Literacy and Communication at Terrace Road Primary

We want children to be able to listen actively, think for themselves in order to express their ideas, feelings and thoughts effectively in a variety of situations including class group and paired discussions, role-play, when presenting, debating and informal situations. We also want children to become confident at writing in a wide variety of contexts, in varied situations and for a broad range of purposes. 

We use a variety of resources and strategies to ensure this:

• Rich literacy lessons based around high quality texts 
• Giglets - Digital Literacy 
• Guided Reading with a focus on the reading behaviours 
• Read Write Inc (Reading Scheme)
• Reading schemes - Oxford Reading Tree, Pie Corbett Reading Spine 
• Pie Corbett Talk for Writing 
• Spelling Attack and Vocabulary Attack 
• Sharp Writers approach to teaching writing 
• Literacy Intervention (Read Write Inc support and ALN interventions)
• Wellcomm (Nursery and Reception Language Tool)
• Variety of clubs: Giglets, Drama, Film Club (Intofilm), Welsh Club, French Club 

Subject Leaders: Mrs S. Roberts and Mrs S. Williams
