award-winning programme where trained Early Years practitioners work with families to support children\u2019s early literacy and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We know that parents are their children\u2019s main educators and by engaging them in their children&#8217;s early development, it has been shown to improve children&#8217;s outcomes and to help narrow the developmental gap between children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This programme helps to build parent\u2019s knowledge and confidence so that they can help their children with reading, writing and maths, whilst creating and developing a positive early home learning environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Medlock Valley, we are working to deliver a REAL project across Nursery and Reception, providing our families with ideas, resources and fun workshops to enhance their children\u2019s progress.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We use the four key strands of literacy;<strong>&nbsp;<em>environmental print, books, oral language&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong>and<strong><em>&nbsp;mark making<\/em>.&nbsp;<\/strong>We use the&nbsp;<strong>ORIM<\/strong>&nbsp;framework in order to support parents to provide&nbsp;<strong>O<\/strong>pportunities,&nbsp;<strong>R<\/strong>ecognition,&nbsp;<strong>I<\/strong>nteraction and&nbsp;<strong>M<\/strong>odels of literacy and maths.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For

children.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We know that communication is fundamental to children\u2019s development.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It supports the ability of a child to communicate with others and to express and understand feelings. It also supports a child&#8217;s thinking ability and helps them to develop and maintain relationships.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order for children to become effective communicators they need to be able to use speech and language appropriately so that they can understand what is said to them and be clearly understood by others.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Poor language predicts poor literacy skills and, without the right help, between 50% and 90% of children with persistent communication needs go on to have reading difficulties.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vocabulary at the age 5 is a very strong predictor of the qualifications achieved at school leaving age and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Medlock Valley Primary we are supporting children to close the language gap, by providing a total communication approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We:<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items17600_cf32c0-11:not(.this-stops-third-party-issues){margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items17600_cf32c0-11
