TalkingPartners@Primary

TalkingPartners@Primary

talkingpartners@primary (formerly known as Talking Partners) is a programme designed to improve the way children communicate across the curriculum, enabling them to be independent and skillful speakers and listeners. It's a targeted, time-limited (10 weeks) intervention that can be used with the whole class, small groups or individuals.

By providing opportunities to practice and rehearse target language through a range of focused activities, pupils develop their independent skills to become good communicators. talkingpartners@primary is a structured oral language programme providing part of an integrated approach to raise levels of achievement by improving children’s speaking and listening skills. 

talkingpartners@primary also helps children to become more confident and competent users of English. It encourages them to listen more actively and talk for a range of purposes and draws particular attention to the links between oracy and literacy.
