This video features Advanced Teaching Assistant Sue Backhouse who has been trained by the York University team to teach Oral Language to pre-school children in Hinderwell Community Primary School. This programme focuses on the Nursery phase of intervention with early vocabulary and narrative teaching to a group of three pupils at risk of poor literacy development in the Early Years. The research suggests that even at three and a half, these children will benefit from this intervention and achieve significantly better in their later literacy classes. It will benefit their entire educational lives.
