Oracy: We Need to Talk

Word of Mouth

Available for over a year

Oracy, alongside literacy and numeracy, is being encouraged in schools. Amy Gaunt, from the charity Voice 21, explains to Michael Rosen how children are learning to talk, and through talk. How does talking about a subject help children learn about it? And how does an oracy rich classroom help the less able as well as the more confident? We also hear from Tia, who went to a school that works with Voice 21. Tia describes her experience with oracy. Produced by Sally Heaven for Âé¶¹Éç Audio Bristol, in partnership with the Open University. Subscribe to the Word of Mouth podcast and never miss an episode: /sounds/brand/b006qtnz
