Synopsis: Understanding and Using Spoken Language is a collection of original games and activities designed to help and support children aged from 7 to 9 years. The book seeks to address language and communication diffi culties for children aged 7–9 by providing a range of fun and engaging activities. The activities focus on both social and language development in areas such as body language, independence, emotions, listening, speaking and auditory memory. The book includes: Over 150 games and activities, which are differentiated for different ages and levels of ability; A clear aim, equipment list and instructions for each activity; Photocopiable templates for ease of use; Supplementary resource sheets including pictures and scripts to use with the activities. Now fully revised and updated in line with current policy and legislation, this book includes material to create an effective speech and language therapy programme in consultation with a therapist. The activities are easy to set up and can be carried out by teachers, classroom assistants or volunteers. This is a unique manual that will be an essential addition to the materials used by professionals working with young children.
