Case Study - How Teaching Children Talking Can Improve Language Skills and Writing at Key Stage 2
Background
The study used the Renfrew Bus Story Test of Narrative Skills.
During 2004-5 a group of schools in the East Riding of Yorkshire was involved in the Teaching Children Talking Project.
The Curriculum Project manager (CPM) worked with the two junior schools in the group during the autumn term 2004.
The CPM asked each school to identify 8 children in Year 3 who had not achieved the expected level for reading and/or writing
at Key Stage 1 and had been assessed as achieving Level 2c.
Aims of the Study
The study was designed to evaluate the impact of Narrative Therapy techniques on the language scores of the children.
The CPM also aimed to train a teaching assistant in each school to deliver the narrative therapy group sessions.
Through this the study aimed to raise the language levels of the children in order to improve their writing.
