Is anyone else unable to access the #thematicanalysis companion website? Finding @ginnybraun.bsky.social & @vicclarke.bsky.social's book extremely helpful w/ my MSc Dissertation. I wanted to look back at the e.g.s of TA write up but the website won't connect (I've tried different devices+routes)🤔

💜🥰 Delighted to have delivered day 1/2 of piloting DLD Together Secondary parent/carer course in person for #Bham families. Wonderful seeing families connecting, learning & feeling less alone. Can't wait for week 2! @afasic.bsky.social @naplic.bsky.social #DevLangDis see radld.org for info about DLD

Here is my evidence-informed resource I shared at the #NAPLIC25 conference yesterday. Top tips to help settings support communication. Essential for pupils with #DevLangDis & beneficial to all 💜 Feel free to share with others ☺️
A series of 4 infographics developed using materials from the 'Better Communication Research Programme' inc. 'Communication Supporting Classrooms (CSC) tool' (Dockrell et al., 2012). https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/better-communication-research-programme The 3 parts of a Communication Supportive Environment Help children & young people's Speech, Language and Communication grow through the communicative environment your setting provides. Take a look at this collection of four infographics for some of the key features of each part. 1/4 Communication Supporting Environments benefit ALL pupils! Language Learning Opportunities Plan daily activities across the curriculum that support the development of language and communication. Language Learning Environments The way the physical environment is set up and managed can help or hinder language and communication. Language Learning Interactions The way that adults in your setting communicate with pupils makes a huge difference. With effective strategies consistently in place, pupils will understand more, follow instructions better and answer questions more successfully. created by Kate Starr KateStarrSLCN@gmail.com
