Improving Children's Responses (Ep. 29)

Sometimes you just want the children to do a little bit more... say more... speak clearly... add detail...

Well, what if we insisted that the children ALWAYS give the Full Monty?

What if we insisted that they answer in full sentences?

What if it was a core expectation that one/two word responses were not enough?

Wouldn't that have an impact on oracy, knowledge, retrieval/recall, explanation, communication, understanding, comprehension, vocabulary and so much more?

And that would be a really positive outcome wouldn't it?

This episode looks at what the impact of adding this to your practice could achieve in the classroom.
