Home Learning Literacy Information and Resources

Leave a comment

I have attached some links to resources which you may find useful for supporting your children with learning at home. A couple of the links are general support about routines and structure, while others focus on how you can support your child’s literacy learning.

Speech and Language Resources and Information

Leave a comment

Please have a read at the information below and follow the link for parent support and further details. This website would be fantastic support for any parents of the children taking part in the language links programme in school. But also a great source of information for anyone looking to support their child’s literacy learning at home…

NEW FRE SLCN Parent Portal

The SLCN Parent Portal is now open and has received great feedback from schools and parents alike. It is being refreshed weekly with new content from our speech and language therapists. It is worth revisiting regularly for new updates and resources that you can use at home. A ‘What’s New?’section will be added to the homepage so that you can see at a glance what has been added. This week we have added as new:

  • Spring Trios games
  • The latest digital issue of the Link magazine.
  • An introductory blog article for parents called ‘what is speech and language?’
  • Further blogs and podcasts will be added.

You do not need to be subscribing to any packages to use these resources. This focus is on providing entertaining activities, support, advice and information for parents and this will continue after the Covid-19 crisis eases. The site can be found at  https://speechandlanguage.info/parents
