A Whole School Approach to Developing Narrative Skills

A Whole School Approach to Developing Narrative Skills

Year Level: Early Years, Foundation, Year 1 & 2, Years 3 to 6

An information sheet outlining a step by step, whole school approach to developing narrative skills using PLD’s programs.

As increasing numbers of children are entering the education system with immature language skills, this progressive program aims to maximise childrenā€™s language profile and thereby their overall academic
achievement.
