- Understand speech, language, and communication skills
- Consider roles and responsibilities at primary school
- Plan a differentiated and adapted curriculum
- Consider the language demands across subjects
- Adopt a whole-school approach

Fully revised and updated, Language for Learning in the Primary School, 3rd edition, comes complete with a wealth of photocopiable and downalodable resources, giving teachers and teaching assistants the confidence to help children with SLCN more effectively in mainstream settings. It will also be an extremely useful resource for speech and language therapists, specialist teachers, and educational psychologists.
