Literacy & languages: new guidance published

The DCSF have published comprehensive new guidance on making links between primary languages and literacy.

'Developing language in the primary school: Literacy and primary languages' is available as a series of pdf downloads on the National Strategies website is for Primary literacy and language advisers and consultants who are looking to develop mutually supportive language learning skills in children's first and additional languages.

The guidance demonstrates how the objectives in the Primary Framework for literacy align with those in the KS2 Framework for Languages, making explicit the commonalities in language learning strategies in both Frameworks and highlighting teaching and learning strategies that can support their development. Links with the CPD materials in Excellence and enjoyment: learning and teaching for bilingual children in the primary years are also made.
