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.
