Oracy

Oracy Lead: Mrs R. Pender

Oracy Champions: Miss E Atkin (KS1) Miss K Caldwell (KS2)

Empowering all learners to succeed through communication.
At Whiston Willis we aim to equip our learners with the skills to talk and listen effectively to one another. Oracy gives every child the opportunity to find their voice; to articulate  their ideas, thoughts and feelings clearly and coherently and develops understanding. Effective communication helps every child to fulfil their potential and flourish in their school life and beyond, regardless of their background. We endeavour to give every learner, under our provision, this opportunity.

 

 

 

Our Oracy curriculum is underpinned by the Oracy Framework created by Voice 21. The Oracy framework uses four vital strands; physical, linguistic, cognitive and social and emotional.

Through a high quality Oracy education, students learn through talk and learn to talk. The use of carefully planned, modelled and scaffolded talk in the classroom heightens subject knowledge and understanding for our learners.

The Oracy framework 

Discussion roles 

Discussion roles are used to facilitate effective discussions within the classroom.

Listening Ladder

We use listening ladders within our classrooms to support with effective speaking and active listening, leading to high quality talk.

Sentence stems

Our learners are encouraged to speak in full, coherent sentences when sharing their ideas and using spoken language. We have created a bank of differentiated sentence stems which our learners have access to in their classrooms and are carefully used in teacher’s planning. Please feel free to use these with your children at home.
