Communication, Language and Literacy Network
The Communication, Language and Literacy Network is a joyful opportunity for sharing, learning and exploring to reflect on how we support children’s journeys to be confident communicators, readers and writers. It is a regional network open to our 8 local authorities.
There will be opportunities for early years professionals of all levels to come together online and hear from inspirational speakers and consider what best practice looks like in everyday routines and experiences for all children in our settings and schools.
Stories, songs, rhymes, inspiring communication environments, high quality interactions, mark making and writing will all feature as part of network discussions with others.
As well network sessions, online and face-to-face, it will include training and input from inspirational speakers, as well as open days or information sharing around relevant themes.

Webinar: Brilliant Bilingualism with Dr Rose Drury
The webinar will explore young bilingual children’s use of first language(s) and learning of a new language in the Early Years. The advantages of growing up learning more than one language will be discussed, and strategies will be developed for fostering children’s bilingualism and supporting and assessing the learning of English. It will help make links with current policy guidance and discuss how to put this into practice with bilingual children and their families to develop strategies for supporting bilingual children’s learning.

We invite further suggestions for how we can meet the needs of each locality.
