Description

In this unit, pupils develop speaking and listening skills by answering questions about themselves, giving and following instructions and retelling a story. They focus on clear speech, attentive listening, maintaining eye contact and responding in full sentences with relevant answers.

This first Year 1 speaking and listening unit builds on foundational communication skills developed through conversations, storytelling and role play in the EYFS. Focusing on clear speaking, active listening, and forming full sentences, the unit helps pupils develop essential skills for effective classroom interactions and presentations. It also fosters social and emotional intelligence by teaching pupils how to communicate effectively and respectfully. These skills lay the groundwork for the next unit, where pupils will speak and perform in front of an audience and share their opinions.
