The assessment gives an accurate picture of each child's needs and level of understanding. As a whole year group screening tool, it enables us to quickly identify those children who need to be seen by a therapist and also those children who would benefit from intervention at a lower level. We re-assess those children who we have ongoing concerns about throughout their time at the federation and refer to our findings often in pupil progress meetings.
Caroline Thorne found Infant Language Link :
- Moderately reduces teacher workload“Identifies difficulties to be addressed without delay and without the need for additional teacher assessments. We use it as a whole year group screening tool.”
- Moderately improves teaching efficiency“The children with difficulties are identified quickly and support is put in place to maximise the use of teaching hours.”
- Significantly improves teacher knowledge“The assessment encourages dialogue between staff members and therefore has a positive impact on the understanding of childrens' difficulties in this area.”
