The Words Up: Primary Key Messages for Adult/ Child Interaction training has been developed by speech and language therapists in Highland for adults to support their interactions with children, leading to improved speech, language and communication for children. The training is designed for all practitioners working in a primary school. To get the most out of the training, it is recommended that this is done within small groups. It will take around 1 hour (depending on the length of discussion).

For the training, you will need:
– copies of the Words Up Early and Primary Key Message Posters
– A4 paper
– a pen/pencil.

The Supporting Oral Comprehension and Developing Learner Responsibility document that is referred to in the training is available here.
