Session 1: Supporting Children’s Language Through Quality Interaction

Aims

⚠️ Your Place Is NOT Confirmed Until Payment Is Made

Clicking BOOK does not secure your place on the course.

Your booking is only a temporary reservation and will remain unconfirmed until payment is received.

If payment is not made within 5 days, your booking may be cancelled and your place offered to someone else.

If you have a valid credit note, please email EHSAdmin@southwark.gov.uk when making your booking so we can apply it instead of payment.

No payment or credit note = no confirmed place.

For full booking instructions, please see:

Please do not assume your place is confirmed simply because you have submitted a booking. Payment (or a valid credit note) is required for confirmation

Summary

High-quality adult-child interactions are fundamental to children's language, communication, and learning. This session will explore how practitioners can use everyday interactions to support vocabulary development, thinking skills and sustained conversations, including through the Education Endowment Foundation's ShREC approach (Share Attention, Respond, Expand and Conversation). Participants will reflect on their own practice and gain practical strategies to enhance communication through play and child-led experiences.
