Dr. Shaddai Tembo is joined again by Adam Marycz to discuss upbringings and backgrounds, as well as socioeconomic factors that affect oracy education. They highlight ‘cultural capital’ and the need for equity to provide everyone with access to opportunities and ask educators to think about what success looks like when supporting children from different backgrounds
The conversation moved on to how far Early Years Pupil Premium can support as well as doesn’t helping parents understand the importance where support is lacking in a multicultural society.
Practitioners may be interested in learning more about the role of resources, but only if educators are skilled in utilising them. TTS’ own Recordable Pegs, Recordable Mats and Talking Pens are examples of resources that can support the development of oracy skills if used effectively.
