This work offers an inclusive approach to developing children's language and thinking skills and their emotional literacy. By running small, practical group sessions for children who are vulnerable in these areas, you can make a difference. Children are encouraged to take small steps and build up their confidence gradually, the aim being to allow them to catch up and keep pace with their peers. The sessions are very practical, involving games and activities. They are graded to cover important areas of language development and expansion, early pragmatic skills, listening skills, social skills, critical thinking skills, self-esteem and self-confidence. Straightforward directions are given for each individual session, which can be followed by the class teacher and classroom support staff.
