 Communication & LanguageSpecialist 68531255023350Curriculum plan 2020-2190000081324001. Curriculum PrinciplesCommunication and Language focuses on reading, writing, speaking and listening. Each unit begins with an introductory story to support the lesson content, followed by videos that demonstrate teaching techniques to support learning within the home context. You may find it useful to refer back to different ‘how to’ videos as you progress through the units. 2. Subject structure overviewTwo levels are covered within Communication & Language: Building understanding (BU) and Applying learning (AL). Primary and Secondary are identified as separate lessons to ensure content is age appropriate. Each of the 6 units contain 4 lessons; 2 videos and 2 resource packs. These lessons are designed to be repeated to support consolidation and generalisation of skills.

Suggested sequenceThe units can be used in any sequence to match with themes relating to schools’ own topic cycles. Some videos are cross referenced within each unit to support consolidation and generalisation of skills. We suggest that parents and schools work together to identify which aspects are most relevant to meet the individual needs.
