An increasing number of schools are dedicating time each week to teach oracy skills. It’s amazing how quickly this can impact on pupils’ talk and listening.
Even as little as five minutes a week can make a difference. You could spend the time playing a talk game to develop voice projection or turn-taking. Or, practise something to use across the curriculum, for example talk prompts for talk partners.
The Oracy Skills Framework can help you plan which skills to focus on.
