SUMMARY:SESSION 3: Talk for Stories for EYFS
DESCRIPTION:THIS SESSION IS FOR EYFS TEACHERS AND TAs \nDiscover how Talk for Stories has developed reading comprehension\, oracy and confidence in Reception. In this practical\, classroom-focused session\, we’ll share how we have embedded Talk for Stories at Scarcroft School—including early immersion and oral rehearsal. You’ll see what this looks like in real lessons\, how staff have adapted the approach to suit their classes\, and how we’ve built consistency without losing creativity. We’ll explore how we explicitly teach and rehearse Tier 2 and Tier 3 vocabulary through immersion\, oral storytelling and structured talk\, ensuring pupils confidently use ambitious language in their speaking and writing. \nThis session is ideal for staff who want a clear\, realistic picture of implementation\, not just theory. Expect concrete examples\, honest reflections on what worked (and what didn’t)\, and take-away ideas you can use immediately in your own setting. \nRoom: L2
