Supporting communication, understanding, expression and language development in the classroom.
How children make sense of what adults say — and what we can change about the way we communicate so that more children understand, participate and show what they know.
How children put their thoughts, ideas, needs and experiences into words — and what adults can change so that more children can show what they think and know.
What it means to really know a word, why word knowledge sits underneath so much classroom learning, and how adults can build it deliberately without turning language into a deficit.
Being hard to understand is not the same as having less to say. What speech sounds are, how clarity develops at different rates, and how to keep a child fully included while it does.
