Description

This is a practical resource that can be used with children who need additional help in developing communication skills during the first year of school and is a follow-on from the hugely successful first edition. This second edition focuses primarily on a targeted group intervention, to boost the language and sound awareness skills of children entering reception class, who are delayed in these areas of communication. It also addresses aspects of attention, following instructions and social communication.

School Start, aims to help children catch up so that they may be ready to access the learning environment of Year 1. It is an invaluable resource for teachers and teaching assistants that encourages good collaborative practice between schools, speech & language therapists, the SENCO and parents. The programme consist of:

an initial six-week period so that educational staff may identify children of concern; a screening checklist to confirm the identification of those children
a structured programme of 30 Language group sessions that teaching assistants will find quick and easy to follow, delivered once a week
a structured programme of 30 Sound Awareness group sessions that teaching assistants will find quick and easy to follow, delivered once a week
activities and learning objectives linked into communication at home and in class
monitoring of each child's objectives and readministration of the checklist in July.

Teachers and teaching assistants first select children suitable for the programme through the checklists provided; set-up meetings then take place between the inclusion coordinator and school before the child is enrolled on the programme.  Devised by two speech & language therapists experienced in working with teaching staff, the book consists of two 30-week programmes aimed at developing Language and Sound Awareness skills. Each six-week block has clearly written objectives that are linked to the National Curriculum Foundation Stage. Baseline and evaluation checklists are also provided to monitor each child's progress.

School Start offers:

an introduction on how to use the School Start programme
group sessions for the Language and Sound Awareness programmes
70 photocopiable resource templates
programme delivery templates containing all the checklists, record sheets and handouts needed to carry out the programme
an accompanying CD-Rom giving the option to print out some of the resource templates in colour.

Successfully trialled over a three-year period, School Start is an invaluable resource for teachers and teaching assistants that encourages good collaborative practice between schools, speech & language therapists, the school's inclusion coordinator and parents.
