ECC Communication board

Here at Gargieston ECC we promote a communication friendly environment and our communication champion is currently Miss Clark. When you enter the ECC you will find our communication board on your right hand side of the cloakroom.This board has key pieces of information to promote communication and language along with Makaton signs and Nursery rhyme of the week. This information is updated on a weekly basis and also uploaded to the blog.

We offer communication tip of the month which is pictured above (pausing in conversations)

Please feel free to take any leaflets in the button wallet from the board as these are replenished regularly.

Should you have any speech or language concerns please feel free to speak to your child’s keyworker, our communication champion or call the Speech and Language Therapy hotline which is pictured above. The speech and language therapy department also have a facebook and twitter page which has some useful information and tips posted regularly.

Communication Board – new top tip!

This months top top is supporting speech sounds. When your child pronounces a sound incorrectly just repeat back what they have said in it’s true form without correcting them. This allows the child to hear language in its correct form without knocking their confidence and self esteem.  For example if a child was to say “it’s a at” instead of cat just repeat “yes it’s a cat”

ECC Communication Survey

Thank you to the 35 people who have taken the ECC Communication Board survey. This survey is still open and I would really appreciate if you could take 5minutes to provide your feedback. This feedback will be taken on board to influence the direction and progression of the communication board and what the communication champion displays in the future for parents. Thank you in advance.

ECC parents

Miss Clark is looking for as many ECC parents within the Early Childhood Centre to participate in this short survey in regards to the communication board. Your responses will be collated and taken on board for our centres progression.

Thank you to the 15 people who have already participated this is very much appreciated.

Miss Clark.
