Download Case Study Here<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Pupil A is at Early Acquisition (Stage 2) of his English language development. He has been visiting dad in Scotland regularly before the family decided to move here permanently in summer. At the start of the school year he is offered a small EAL group support to help him expand his survival language. He enjoys the story corner and chooses books that seem familiar themes or he knows in his home language. Given his early stage of English language, he doesn\u2019t shy from group work, joins in conversation and volunteers answers. In class, he engages in reading and writing tasks and although he shows difficulties with spelling, he attempts to write independently and when in doubt checks spelling with his supportive buddy. He is able to follow instructions and remembers prior learning. At home conversation is predominantly in his first language. His knowledge of phonics and phonological awareness in his home language is very good and he applies strategies to draw on similarities between the sounds. His vocabulary and literacy in home language appear quite advanced. Pupil A joined the school at start of new term in P4. Parents seem very keen to engage with school, and ask for an interpreter due to language barriers. From the initial meeting Pupil A\u2019s literacy in his home language is very good. He enjoys reading and writes his own comic strips.<\/p>\n
