Oracy

Pupils should be taught to:

  • express themselves confidently and clearly
  • organise what they want to say, and use vocabulary and syntax that enables the communication of more complex meanings
  • evaluate their own talk and reflect on how it varies, using ICT as appropriate, e.g. using audio and/or video equipment to record individual or group activities to explore use of language
  • listen to others, questioning them to clarify what they mean, and extending and following up the ideas
  • qualify or justify what they think after listening to other opinions or accounts, and deal politely with opposing points of view.

 

Reading skills

      • making judgements about when a particular tone, style, format or choice of vocabulary is appropriate.
      • Plan, draft and improve their work, using ICT as appropriate, and discuss and evaluate their own and others’ writing.
