One
Step at a Time
A
structured programme for teaching spoken language in
schools and nurseries
by
Ann Locke with Don Locke |
 |
| A
unique tried-and-tested programme that: |
|
|
Identifies the spoken language skills that
are crucial for children’s educational progress |
| |
|
introduces these skills one at a time,
week by week, term by term, year by year |
| |
|
sets out realistic teaching objectives
and classroom procedures |
| |
|
supports differentiated
teaching by providing simple methods for monitoring
individual development and reviewing progress
|
| |
|
provides a complete set
of photocopiable planning materials.
|
Using a mixture of whole-class teaching, small-group work
and individual interaction, each step of the One Step
at a Time programme focuses on one set of skills that
is crucial for progress: Conversation –
Nursery; Listening – Reception;
Narrative – Year 1; Discussion
– Year 2. There is also a preliminary step,
Getting Started, for nursery children
who are not ready for systematic work on conversation.
One Step at a Time is specially designed to support
the wider school curriculum and combine with other teaching
programmes, making high quality spoken language teaching manageable
within existing resources – without specialist training.

Comments
from teachers who have piloted the
One Step at a Time programme:
“All
our children are much more confident, much more willing
to have a go – especially the boys.”
“It’s had an impact on the whole school!”
“It works right across the board, for geography, for
science, for everything”
“I’m finding far fewer children need my help at the
end of reception” |
| Competency
in spoken language is perhaps the most important
skill that children need for school, not just
for literacy but also for learning in all subjects,
for social and emotional development, and for
the development of thinking skills. |
