• Significantly improves teaching efficiency and productivity“The listening and attention skills of most of the children improve following the LL interventions. This is frequently demonstrated in their small group or one-to-one work and mostly demonstrated in class. For some children, as their receptive and expressive language develops through LL group work, their anxiety levels are reduced which enables them to access their learning more easily. In addition, the Year 3 Swimming Pool group provides an opportunity for children who have never been swimming to develop an awareness, acquire vocabulary and talk about their anxieties around swimming in preparation for their school swimming lessons.”
• Slightly reduces teacher workload“Unable to answer.”
• Significantly improves teacher knowledge and skills“LL is a brilliant resource to share, particularly with NQTs and less experienced teachers, to help them understand why it is so important to teach listening skills, how poor receptive language skills can be so easily masked and the value of early intervention. The website and resources make it easy to explain what happens when the children come out for group work and the teachers see the impact it makes.”
• Slightly improves behaviour or wellbeing“Unable to answer.”
