PIVATS Language & Communication Extension Pack – Now Available!
We are absolutely delighted to be able to advise that the "Language & Communication" extension pack is now available to order.
Language acquisition is becoming an increasing challenge for schools, as a growing number of pupils enter school with delayed language development. This then impacts on their social, emotional, and academic progress.
The PIVATS Language and Communication Extension Pack has been designed to give practitioners guidance on how to promote the development of listening and understanding of spoken language, and talking and communication skills, within a mainstream school setting – especially for pupils functioning within the earlier PIVATS milestones.
It is worth noting that 15-20% of pupils will have persistent SLCN (Speech, language, and communication needs) and these pupils would benefit from specialist support and intervention in addition to the strategies promoted in the PIVATS toolkit.
The PIVATS Language and Communication Extension Pack has been written to support provision for pupils being assessed using the PIVATS 5 Language and Communication Milestones. Where a criterion is highlighted, there is an example of a practical strategy which could be included in provision to develop that aspect of language and communication.
